Hello to the week Little River School Community!

I hope that each of you has had a great Thanksgiving.

Students will continue their work with Habit 2 over the

next few weeks. By now most of you have had opportunity

for conferences with your child(ren)’s teacher about the first

quarter. Soon progress reports for second quarter will be sent

home. Habit 2 provides great opportunity to talk about

performance with your child. I encourage you to keep the

communication open between you and your child(ren)’s

teachers.

Here are some highlights of events this week: 1) Little River

Chorus will sing at Durham’s annual tower lighting at

American Tobacco District this Friday; 2) The PTO Little

Shops event will take place this Saturday.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our recent

annual service project. 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!

I hope that each of you is readying for a joyous

Thanksgiving!

Our school had an opportunity to visit A.B. Combs

how that might enhance our work at Little River. I hope

that each of you is having great opportunities to discuss

Habit 2 at home and how it helps our friends be Wavemakers

in Beaver Nation.

Remember there will be no school on Wednesday,

Thursday and Friday of this week due to the Thanksgiving

Holiday and break. If you are looking for a good post
