Good day out there, LVR Community.

Meet this school year's Rec Leadership 11/12 class, shown in this week's pic, who take on projects within & around LVR to build school spirit and community connectedness.  Rec Leadership students will be leading our Terry Fox Run this coming Wednesday, September in the afternoon.  Please help us reach our school goal of raising at least $2000 this year by donating through Rec Leadership students' pledge forms or donating directing through the LVR Terry Fox Run school page at https://schools.terryfox.ca/78624.  Points will be awarded for top House Teams donations!
