Good day out there, LVR Community.

This week I would like to share a podcast that came my way this week that connects with so many thoughts & conversations I have been involved in lately in relation to our attention as our greatest currency that we have to create the lives we want to live and share.  I am only 10 minutes in, so far, and would love to connect with anyone who has a listen and wants to send me any personal connections to this.

Superintendent's Report - Midwinter Edition

Midwinter is upon us - a time when SD8 students and educators look forward to sharing and showing what children have learned and the talents they have developed in the first half of the school year. It's a time when family and community are invited into our schools to watch - and in many cases participate in - holiday concerts and events.
