J.V. Humphries students in the Drama Exploratory class participated a wildly successful production of "OZ" on December 12-14 at the JVH Lighthouse Theatre. All three shows of the JVH Drama Production were sold out! Every student in the Drama Exploratory class was in the cast, production crew or stage crew for the performance. 

This year JVH held a fundraiser from Monday to Friday, December 5th to the 16th. Senior students scheduled themselves for 60-minute shifts outside the Front Street Market.

Our Student Parliament and Leadership students organized a Family Carnival with something for everyone! There were over 15 activities, from a dunk tank to face painting, old style events like bowling, bean bag toss, balloon darts and more. Over 250 people joined us for dinner, games, prizes and lots of great community building.
