Good sunny day out there, LVR Community.

Today's main image is of an original painting submitted as part of a student research project in Mr. Parnell's Law 12 class looking at the current laws and regulations applicable to self-driving vehicles. Additional images below are from Mr. Wilkin's wood shop, our new Indigenous education four-panel mural that was installed last week, and a hot-off-the-press pic of senior boys' basketball team who won the Osoyoos tournament this weekend!

Please be sure pay student fees for new semester 2 courses that started last week. Payments can be made in-person to Secretary Arlene or through our online make a payment tool.
