Dear AL Community,

Mr André Fontcha, longtime second-grade teacher at AL, has impacted hundreds of students over the years with his passion for teaching. His family wants you to know that he and his wife contracted Covid-19 in December. While he is still currently fighting to get better in the ICU, it is with deep sadness that we share that his wife passed away.

Their four children, ages of 13 to 22, are doing their best to keep the household running. In partnership with the family, Académie Lafayette is establishing this GoFundMe to help them in this difficult time. All proceeds go directly to the family.

Merci beaucoup.
