Plans for a second elementary school were already being developed by the Roman Catholic school board around 1965. The new building officially opened in 1970.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the school, artist Joop Kruip created the mosaic \u2018Playing Children\u2019, which was installed in the school that same year. The artwork remained visible there for more than 25 years and is remembered by countless pupils and teachers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1997 St Ludger&#8217;s School merged with <a href=\"https:\/\/oldaalten.nl\/en\/place\/st-josephs-school\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St Joseph&#8217;s School<\/a>. After the merger, the combined school continued in the St Joseph&#8217;s School building. Joop Kruip&#8217;s mosaic moved with it and was given a new place there.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ludgerstraat 86, Aalten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":51894,"parent":0,"menu_order":86,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[595],"tags":[],"functie":[1175,1172],"thema":[1960],"class_list":["post-180528","plaats","type-plaats","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aalten","functie-elementary-school","functie-primary-school","thema-education"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
