Good day out there, LVR Community.
This week's pic comes from Mr. Wilkin's birdhouse building mentorship project with our Woodworking 11/12's working alongside & helping students from Mr. Chirico's class from Hume Elementary School. Love these projects!
It is bittersweet for us at this time of year to say our goodbyes & give our best to our grads as they finish up their K-12 education and head out into the world along their pathways. We really appreciate all the "thank you's" that have come to our staff across the school in recognition of the dedication, care, and support that our students receive through this stage of their lives.
Check out our Athletics Awards that were also celebrated this past week, as submitted by Mr. MacKinnon as our Athletic Director. Again, a big shout out to all of the adults who support our students beyond involved in Athletics, and to all the students who have been involved this year! - https://lvr.sd8.bc.ca/announcements/athletic-awards-2024
Bus Requests for 2024-25 - The due date for submitting the 2024/25 school year bus registration application has been extended to June 26, 2024. Applications received after the due date will be considered only if space is available on routes as scheduled. All students requesting SD8 school busing privileges must register annually.
Through the summer break, 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.
