Good day out there, LVR Community.  

Thank to you all who have helped welcome me into my new role as LVR Principal this week!  I am planning to continue on with a consistent, weekly update blog tradition that I have used at other schools to keep you in the loop.  This week I am using a photo of me so those of you I haven't yet met can put a face to the name, but starting next week I hope to showcase a photo each week of the learning experiences our students are involved in across the school.

November 8th is a day marked to honour the contributions of Indigenous Peoples to the Canadian Military.

"Did you know that First Nations served in the Canadian Military at a higher rate than any other group in this great nation? More than 4,000 Indigenous people served Canada in the First World War. In fact, First Nations, Inuit and Métis people served Canada in all the great conflicts and peace support missions of the 20th century."
