Hello to the week Little River School Community!

This past week we have been acknowledging Anti-Bullying Week, 

culminating in wearing orange on Friday. Stopping bullying is up to each 

of us. There is no place for bullying in our Leader in Me school. Please 

talk with your student about what each learned about bullying this week.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the PTO Teach or Treat event 

this past Thursday! It opened our Bookfair with a lot of fun. It was also 

neat to see all of the character costumes on Thursday from student reading. 

The book fair will continue this week, so get your orders in. Your support 

is very much appreciated!

Have a great week of school and have a fun, safe Halloween! And 

remember to walk the river way every day in Beaver Nation: to learn 

respect and shine!

Kindly,

Hello to the week Little River School Community!

The close of October brings us closer to our PTO Haunted

Bookfair and Teach or Treat event!

As we transition from the first quarter to the second quarter,

our students will be moving from their focus on an overview

of the 7 Habits and Habit 1 into a focus on Habit 2. Ask your

child(ren) about what each is learning about the 7 Habits

and how the Habits can help them to be a WaveMaker in

Beaver Nation.

On Wed afternoon, several of our students will be recognized

by the Dr. Mubenga as their artwork is put on display at Fuller

Bldg. Further, If you make it out to the state fair this year, be

sure to check out tge display of artwork by Little River students.

Here are some other updates for this week:

Also on Wed, the seventh and eighth graders will hold their

piano lab concert at 6:30 here at the school.

As mentioned above, the PTO Bookfair will take begin next Thursday.

The PTO community yard sale will be held Saturday,

October 27 at the school. Check flyers in backpacks for

more information.

Have a great week of school! And remember to walk the

river way every day in Beaver Nation: to learn respect and

shine!

Hello to the week Little River School Community!

We have had quite the adventure with the recent weather.

I am thankful for a return to the routine of school for our

community. I hope that each of you has endured the weather

safely.

Durham Public Schools is canceling the early release

dates of Wednesday, Oct. 17, and Wednesday, April 3,

to make up for the first date we lost to Hurricane Michael,

Thursday, Oct. 11. DPS is still evaluating options for making

up the instructional time lost on Oct. 12. Listen out for future

announcements regarding the decision on this.

Check our calendar for happenings this week at Little River.

Have a great week of school! And remember to walk the

river way every day in Beaver Nation: to learn respect and shine!

Hello to the week Little River School Community!

It appears that we are starting to see signs of Fall.

With the change in weather comes mid-quarter progress

reports and Fall conferences. This is a great time to check

in with your child’s teacher about how things are going.

Students are continuing to learn about all of the 7 Habits

and doing a great job with practicing using them. We

recognize students for this work through our Wavemaker

recognition. Ask your child about how they can be recognized

a Wavemaker in Beaver Nation. It is what I call ‘walking the

River Way’!

Thanks to everyone who came out to PTO Science Night

last Thursday! It seemed a fun, great event. Thank you to

our parent partners for coordinating this event with PTO,

parents, teachers and Duke University.

Here’s some other news for the upcoming week:

The PTO will meet Monday at 6pm in the school media center;

Congratulations to the following artists who will have their

artwork displayed at the NC State Fair in Raleigh: Connor

in 1st grade; Aubrey in kindergarten;  and Genesis and Ryann

in 2nd grade; Grayson in 3rd grade; Victoria in 4th grade; Cal

in 8th grade; Sara, Elijah, and Yazmin in 6th grade; Dayanara

Have a great week of school! And remember to walk the river

way every day in Beaver Nation: to learn respect and shine!
