Good day out there, LVR Community.

Congratulations to our LVR swimmers who participated in BC School Sports Provincial Championships last week with strong showings by Kallie Badry who won a silver medal, a bronze medal, and also had two 4th place finishes and Megan Bonikowsky who had personal bests and three top 10 finishes.  Our boys' soccer team played competitively at Provincials this past week, finishing 13th with a 2W-3L record while also winning the Team Fair Play Award. LVR player, Cristobal Jacob, was name a "Super 16" All-Star. This coming week our senior girls' volleyball team is travelling all the way up to Dawson Creek for their Provincials.  Let's go girls!

This week I would like to share Brene Brown's interview podcast with James Clear on 'Atomic Habits'.  I think about this interview pretty much every week and, in particular, this past week in having many graduation review meetings with students & families.  My favourite quote of this interview is, "We don't rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems."  Have a listen!  https://brenebrown.com/podcast/atomic-habits-part-1-of-2/
