LVR Community Weekly Update - 11Feb23
Good day out there, LVR Community.
Thank you to Ms. Kitch and LVR Student Council for inviting me to their meeting this past Monday to share their plans for a Legacy Project to create a more welcoming space in the front courtyard. Plans are in phases to include more seating, art-work, and plant life. In my experience, there are many individuals and organizations who love to support youth-led projects like this, with financial and/or in-kind donations. Please let me know if you would like to support our Student Council's work on this.
