As part of the celebrations to mark 100 years since inception, management of Lake Victoria Primary School Entebbe put in place a series of activities.
A mini-marathon where former students, friends, well-wishers and other stakeholders joined together to sweat for a cause, have fun, network and of course exercise their bodies.
This marathon comes after a massive tree planting drive, medical camp and legal clinic, all activities intended to join forces together for a worthy cause.
A key stakeholder in Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC), the Government chief printers officially joined the school in these noble celebrations.
Prof Sudi Nangoli, the Managing Director of UPPC was ably represented by Joseph Opio Okurut (Deputy MD) as the chief runner.

At its founding date, Lake Victoria Primary School Entebbe initially had two sections; lower part P1-P3 (The Common) and the upper P4-P7 (The Euro), accommodating children of the colonial elite cluster.
Over the years, it has remained a famous school, though, tirelessly working with vigor to restore its mojo in academics and other co-curriculum activities.
