Thursday evening's performance of our band and strings was outstanding! Congratulations to our 5th graders and Mrs. Fessenden.
Our 5th grade strings and band put on a wonderful performance this morning, hoping to be able to perform this evening. We'll try again tomorrow night.
When you do attend, be sure to view the artwork and take home your child's ceramic project. We look forward to seeing you and hearing our performers tomorrow night.
We'll see all of our 5th grade families for Celebration of Learning on Monday, 6/12, when those not in band/strings can take home their ceramic piece.
On Friday, welcomed by LVMS Principal Mr. Ippolito and the Panther, our 5th graders attended the 5th grade picnic, sponsored by the WTPD and the LV Jr. Women's Club. Students enjoyed spending the day with their new classmates from BAC and OFRS, gathering for the first time as the LVMS Class of 2026!
Many thanks to the 5th grade teachers of all three schools and Mrs. DeCicco for working with the middle school guidance team and administration to host this event. Thank you also to our parent volunteers who helped ensure our students had an enjoyable experience.
Congratulations 4th Graders and Mrs. Fessenden on your impressive Celebration of Learning choral performance this evening. Your hard work and hearts shined through. Brava!
