Weekly Update - 20May23

Good May Long Weekend out there, LVR Community.

Thank to Mr. Munby for inviting me in this past week to participate in the Anatomy & Physiology (Biology) 12 Gallery Walk of student-developed projects.  Each presenter got to teach fellow LVR students, adults, and Hume Elementary students through explanations, games, demonstrations, and assessments about various aspects of this course - and I got great refreshers on DNA, endoplasmic reticulum, enzymes, and types of tissues in the human body.

Thank you also to Rec Leadership students, Mr. McComb, Mr. MacKinnon, Ms. Wayling, and Mr. Good for the LVR Spirit Week activities.  Great to see the positive energy and high involvement across the school! 

Congratulations to our LVR girls' soccer team & girls rugby team for qualifying for provincials in Victoria and the Lower Mainland in the coming weeks!
