FEBRUARY 1 2024 TASOK TALK – The American School of Kinshasa

FEBRUARY 1 2024 TASOK TALK

Message from the Director:

The TASOK Talk allows us to share some of the great things taking place at school involving our students and staff in and out of the classroom. Each month, we also showcase two members of our staff that you may not regularly interact with in the ‘Meet Our TASOK Team!’ inside this edition.

January was especially important as we celebrated the retirement of Richard Ngete, who has worked at TASOK for the past 16 years. You may have met Richard in his most recent role of keeping our students safe in the mornings with the Traffic Team. During his time at TASOK, Richard has contributed in a range of roles over the years supporting the success of TASOK and our students, and is very well respected by all. 

At the retirement celebration colleagues shared that Richard will go back to running his plant nursery (which he did before coming to TASOK), and probably contributed to his knowledge of our campus greenery and why he was such a valuable member of the gardening team.  

While it is sad to see Richard leave, he assured me that he will regularly come back to visit us!                                                                                           

Have a wonderful February, 

   Be safe, be well, be kind, 

   Dan Mullen – TASOK Director
