For the first time in LVCHS history, students will be performing in the opening number of the Freddy Awards program at the State Theater in Easton May 23.

Students who starred in this year's production of "Annie" – Abby Parnell (Miss Hannigan), Lizzie Ruppert (Annie), Matt Weaver (Bert Healey & FDR) and Josh Brennan (Daddy Warbucks)– were invited to participate.

This is an incredible reward for all the hard work.
