Community Building & School Events
Please read the description for each of the amazing events Luxmanor showcases throughout the academic year. The following events each need a Chair and committee (that's our fancy way of saying amazing team of volunteers) to bring the events to life and be a soaring success for our Luxmanor students and community.
Back to School Picnic
This annual September event is a time for us to welcome new families to Luxmanor and allows returning families to reconnect.
