Hello LVR families,
I need to send a quick shout out to our Jr. Girls Volleyball team who travelled to Oliver for a tournament over the weekend and are coming home with first place. They won every game, and played some outstanding Volleyball. Congrats to the Jr. Girls!
If your child is graduating from LVR this year, please consider attending our Grad parent information session in the LV library at 6:30pm on the 28th. A Microsoft Teams link has also been sent to parents’ school contact email addresses for virtual attendance.
