Good day out there, LVR Community.  

This week's pics come from Ms. McTague's Physics Trip to Vancouver & UBC, which included accommodations at Jericho Beach Youth Hostel, dinner at Dark Table Restaurant (have a read!), UBC Engineering's Open House, Vancouver Aquarium Tour, Granville Island Exploration, and evening show & observatory visit at the HR MacMillan Planetarium.  

Also pictured below is a small sample of our fall season Principal/Vice-Principal Cheesy Photo Shoot, designed and shot by Ms. Hobden.  Still laughing about this...and wondering what she has in store for the winter photo shoot.
