Good day out there, LVR Community.  Happy Thanksgiving weekend.  (And Happy Birthday on Monday to Mr. Wyllie!)

This week's pics come from across the school and include Mr. Tim's Comparative Cultures trip to Doukhobor Discovery Centre, Chemistry Lab work in Ms. McGregor's classroom, Ms. Spencers Photography outing to explore composition, and our Boys Grizzlies soccer & volleyball home games this past week.  A big thank you to teachers & community volunteers for planning and leading these learning experiences and providing engaging opportunities in and beyond the classroom!
