Remembering What Makes Little River, Little River.
It is not the building, grounds, or the location.
It is NEVER losing sight of why we are here, -for the children.
It is the people, the high expectations and standards that we have set, present, model and expect, -for the children
Always reinventing, changing, researching, and trying new things, looking beyond today, -for the children.
We are a family that is Authentic, Passionate, Loving, Caring, Supportive and Patient with ALL Staff and Families, -for the children.
Little River is Lovingly called Beaver Nation, Where We Lead the River Way Every Day.
Some May Be Leaving Little River and it Makes Our Hearts Heavy but REMEMBER Once a Beaver Always a Beaver.
We are and will always be Family!
