Hello to the week Little River School Community!

Our students have made a great leap forward in our

work as a Leader in Me School! Ask your child

about his or her leadership notebook and how it

might help them with their learning goals.With report

cards having recently come home, it is a good time

to check in about performance, and, if need be,

schedule a conference with your child’s teacher.

Your child’s leadership notebook would be a great

focus of conversations!
