I am a Livermore resident of 8 years but this year is the first time I am really learning to live and love in my community. Previously, I worked in Pleasanton and had most of my children’s sports/friendships there. This year we have cut ties with Pleasanton, Lol, and moved most of our lives to Livermore. This is my first year teaching in Livermore at Marylin Elementary. My free time is consumed by the sports my children are playing!
Q: What are some fun activities to do in Livermore?
