LVR Weekly Update - 15Dec24
Good day out there, LVR Community.
Big couple of weeks in the lead up to the break, with performances last week by Ms. Shippit's Theatre Production and Ms. Matosevic's Jazz Band classes, and activities this week led by Rec Leadership, as well as our Variety Show this coming Friday afternoon. Thanks to all who lead, organize, help out, and support these meaningful events and activities that bring us together! Thanks also to Ms. Martin for sharing a couple pics this week from scenes of the Library at lunch, which everday includes a great mix of students studying, playing games, and enjoying each other's company.
Please Note that our Cafeteria will not have preordered breakfast or lunch on Monday, January 6.
