Good day out there, LVR Community.

This week's main image comes from the May 17 Ache Brazil Capoeira performance for grade 10's that came to LVR through ArtStarts.  What a fun & lively performance with positive messages, great grooves, and audience involvement!  Below is a pic from Mr. McComb's Active Living 11/12 class who are out on learning adventures in and around the our region on double-block days in the spring.

Staff & students, please get your vote in for our LVR team name change through the form at https://forms.gle/1ZB2rBnuachKBhyr7.  You need to be signed in to your sd8.school google account and the form will close on Wednesday, June 5th at 3:30pm.
