Remembering "Ms. R"

05/31/2010
On May 20, 2010 between the boys' and girls' dorm, all of LSVI gathered to remember our teacher and colleague, Ms. Anita Ramachandran - or "Ms. R" as we called her. An Althea (commonly called "Rose of Sharon") tree was dedicated and planted in her memory. With her parents present, students and teachers spoke a few words regarding the ideals and attributes that made Ms. R special in our eyes. Ms. Gayle, colleague and friend of Ms. Ramachandran, was Mistress of Ceremonies. She created a special brochure with students' and teachers' memories and information on the Rose of Sharon. The brochure was presented to Ms. R's parents.
