Spring 2023 Service Project
Each school year LVMS participates in a "Spring Into Service" activity. This year, for the month of April, students can volunteer to take part in Color A Smile. Color A Smile is a nonprofit organization that distributes cheerful drawings to senior citizens, our troops overseas, and anyone in need of a smile. Every month, the organization sends thousands of new drawings to all the people on their mailing list. Kids, teens, and adults of any age can volunteer to color and help us spread smiles. Each homeroom has a set of coloring pages available along with some basic instructions. Have fun this month coloring and brighten someone's day!
Mark your calendar! Monday, April 17th at 7:00 PM at Cucinella is the rescheduled date for our Parent and Community Presentation from Mr. Richard Guerry. Please feel free to access some digital materials from Mr. Guerry on responsible and safe online and cell phone usage.
