Good day out there, LVR Community.

This week's pic is a scene from last Wednesday's ATLAS 'Waxathon' fundraiser with proceeds of over $1200 going to Friends of Kootenay Lake Stewardship Society.  Thank you to all who helped with this new initiative and to Mr. Marshall & the ATLAS students for coming up with this idea and putting in the work to support this cause!

This week we will continue to have students submit their course requests for next school year during A block, with the intention of having all current Gr. 9-11 students' requests in prior to spring break so that Mr. Wyllie and I can jump into the rather large process of building next year's timetable & teacher assignements, in order to have student schedules ready before summer break.  See our updated Course Selections 2025-26 website.

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.
