Good day out there, LVR Community.

Wishing you all a good Mother's Day this weekend and it was sweet to overhear some students talking yesterday about how they are going to treat their moms this weekend.  "Never to old to hug your mom!" as my mom tells me.  

Six weeks of classes to go!  Please be sure to keep up on the information in the weekly updates and check in with our support team if you are needing help.  This Directory of Mental Health Resources link is at the bottom of each of the weekly updates throughout the school year for supports for students, parents/guardians, and staff.

Term 3 Student Learning Updates were posted to the MyEdBC parent and student portals on May 3. 

Grads, be sure to keep up on all grad details through the LVR Grad Page and the Grad 2024 google classroom.  The LVR Grad Page will be updated weekly, so please continue to check back to this site and share it out in your groups.

Check out LVR grade 12 student, Finn Steer's solo art show that runs from May 1 - June 30 at the Nelson Public Library and showcases a series of ink and paper character design drawings.  Click https://lvr.sd8.bc.ca/announcements/finn-steers-solo-art-show for details.
