First things first: Happy birthday to our amazing creative director and beloved Ninette Murk! This calls for a special day of course. So all the students and teachers here at IHAEC came together and plotted a birthday surprise. We decided to dress up in ‘fashion’ and had personalized cupcakes with us. Add some candle fireworks and birthday songs and that all ended up with a big smile from Ninette’s part. It was a bit touch and go though, since Peke had to keep her out of the shower –forcefully- waiting for me to get here in time with the cupcakes… But all’s well that ends well. From my part, I’d like to say: Thank you Ninette for an amazing year, you have a glow when it comes to your job and it’s contagious. I hope we can keep that smile on her face for the rest of the day – and year!-
