For the first time in LVCHS history, students from our school will be performing in the opening number of the Freddy Awards program at the State Theater in Easton on Thursday, May 23. Abby Parnell (Miss Hannigan), Lizzie Ruppert (Annie), Matt Weaver (Bert Healey and FDR) and Josh Brennan (Daddy Warbucks) were invited to participate, although Josh has not recovered from his dislocated patella.
