Roadrunner Roundup

Dear Roadrunner Families,

While we were happy to be back in school this week, we know that the consecutive delayed openings brought some disruptions to your normal routines. We are incredibly proud of our staff and students for their resilience in jumping right back into learning and growing, even with the schedule changes each day!

This week, we also want to extend a very happy National School Counseling Week to our wonderful counselor, Ms. Sutton. We are so thankful for the dedication and support you provide to our students and community every day!

Looking ahead to next week, we have some exciting events on the calendar:

  • Random Acts of Kindness Week
  • Talent Night: We can’t wait to see our talented students take the stage on Tuesday, February 10th.
  • 100th Day of School: We are also thrilled to celebrate the 100th day of school next week - a perfect milestone to reflect on our "100 days smarter" journey!
  • Valentine’s Day/Friendship Day: Please keep an eye out for emails from your child’s teacher regarding class lists and specific classroom information. If your child would like to bring in valentines, please remember that this is entirely optional. If they choose to participate, we ask that they bring one for every student in the class so that everyone is included.

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of the Little Run family!

Sincerely,

Christie Yarn, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
