A Message from the Admin Team
Dear Little Run Family,
We hope this letter finds you well as we reflect on the first week of our new school year. It has been a wonderful start, filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and a strong sense of community.
We are thrilled to see our students embracing the opportunities for academic growth and relationship building. Our teachers are dedicated to providing engaging and rigorous instruction, while also fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.
We are particularly proud of our students' commitment to The Little Run Way, our school-wide positive behavior approach. By following the expectations of Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness, our students are creating a safe and respectful atmosphere for all.
As we move forward, we have many exciting things in store for our school community. We are committed to providing a variety of opportunities for students to learn, grow, and thrive.
We want to express our sincere gratitude for the strong home-to-school partnership. Your support is invaluable in helping us achieve our goals for our students.
We would also like to commend our students on their exemplary behavior during our first fire drill of the school year. Their quick response and adherence to safety procedures demonstrate their commitment to their own well-being and the well-being of others.
Please remember that there is no school on Friday, August 30, and Monday, September 2, in observance of Labor Day weekend.
We look forward to another successful week ahead and appreciate your continued support.
Warmly,
Christie Yarn, Principal
Lesley Hassen, Assistant Principal

Ways to build school and community culture by choosing to be positive.
The Little Run Way
As we kick off the 24-25 school year, we want to make sure we are setting everyone up for success! This year, we will continue to focus on our school-wide behavior system.
Ms. Yarn and Ms. Hassen appeared on the morning news show to discuss The Little Run Way. They will continue these conversations in the coming weeks. Students are also hearing from their homeroom teachers, specialists, and additional staff. It is important that we provide consistency for our students across all learning environments.
We look forward to continuing our conversations about The Little Run Way and encourage families to discuss this at home as well.
Little Run STEAM Lab
 We are so excited to introduce our STEAM Lab- a place where our students will engage in problem solving, questioning, and collaboration. They will test and refine their ideas and deepen their understanding of concepts. As part of our STEAM Lab, we also have a Maker Space area. We would greatly appreciate any donations you might have at home including Scotch tape, masking tape, storage bags, aluminum foil, empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls. We look forward to getting all of our roadrunners in the lab over the next few weeks!
