Sunday Bulletin:  

Good evening Beavers! This is Ms. Moose for Principal Hogans with some notes for this week. 

  • Thank you to those of you who were able to join our Growing Together information session this past Thursday evening. Thank you for your attention and questions!

  • The School Improvement Team will meet tomorrow afternoon at 2:45 and PTO will meet tomorrow evening at 6pm. Conversation will continue around Growing Together, particularly around the matter of 2023-2024 being the last year of middle grades at Little River, so we hope that you will be able to attend the PTO meeting.

  • For those of you who have registered for our Saturday Robotics Academy, we appreciate your patience as we have had to work with delay of the start of the program. We anticipate starting this upcoming Saturday, February 11.

That is all for now. Be reminded that Wednesday is an early release day. Students will dismiss at 12:15. And remember: after replanting our seeds in Beaver Nation, Little River leaders are ready to blossom!
