#OneTeamOneDream❤️
These photos capture the essence of effective small group instruction. In a supportive and engaging environment, students are actively engaged in literacy activities, receiving personalized attention and guidance. Witnessing these moments reminds us of the power of collaborative learning and the positive impact it can have on students' educational journeys.
This dedicated team of educators recently attended the Solution Tree: RTI conference, where they gained valuable insights and strategies to enhance their teaching practices. Our commitment to providing high-quality instruction and fostering student achievement is evident in our continuous professional development.
Our amazing kindergarteners are beaming with pride as they showcase their incredible learning accomplishments after completing unit 1 of Benchmark. Their hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. Way to go, kindergarteners! You're off to a fantastic start!
Our 6th graders enjoyed a delightful tea party hosted by Ms. Sutton and Ms. Ruiz. This special event provided a wonderful opportunity for students to connect with their peers, build friendships, and have fun in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Thank you to both Ms. Sutton and Ms. Ruiz for organizing this memorable experience for our students!
Ms. Edmonson and many families and students had a roaring good time watching The Wild Robot together this weekend. Joined by families and friends, the movie was filled with laughter, popcorn, and unforgettable memories. What a fantastic way to connect and enjoy a fun-filled day!

We welcomed back the George Mason Softball Team! This photo collage captures the energy and excitement of our recent pep rally, filled with friendly competitions, high fives, and plenty of school spirit.🥎💪
Our pep rally wasn't just about cheering on our athletes; it was also a fantastic opportunity for our school community to come together as one. Students and staff proudly wore their house colors, showcasing their house spirit and unity. It was a memorable event that boosted morale and strengthened our school community.
A Message from the Admin Team
Dear Little Run Family,
We hope this email finds you well. We wanted to remind you that tomorrow, October 21, is a three-hour early release day.
Dismissal Times:
- Families who have arranged for early dismissal: 12:15 p.m.
- Students in need of child care: 3:15 p.m.
As we wrap up our Spirit Week, we want to highlight our Digital Citizenship Week. Our students have been learning valuable skills to stay safe and responsible online. We also concluded the week with a fantastic pep rally and house meeting, where our students and staff showed their pride in their houses and welcomed back the George Mason Softball Team!
We are excited to announce a new addition to our house system. Each quarter, students with perfect attendance will earn a special house ticket worth 5 times the value of a regular ticket. This means students have multiple opportunities throughout the year to earn these valuable tickets. While we understand that illnesses can occur, we believe this incentive will encourage regular attendance and help us achieve our house goals.
As we approach the end of the first quarter, we are looking forward to another great week of learning and growth.
Sincerely,
Christie Yarn, Principal
Lesley Hassen, Assistant Principal

Storybook Character Day - October 31
Join us for Storybook Character Day on October 31. Students and staff are welcome to dress up as their favorite book characters.
To support students’ feelings of safety and security in our building, violent or frightening character outfits are not acceptable. No masks, weapons, or dangerous-looking items will be permitted to accompany an outfit.
Please talk with your child about how they would like to participate in this event. This is an excellent opportunity to read a book together and to talk about the characters in the book and their role in the story. Having this discussion at home will support your student in sharing their character with their class. There is no need to buy a book character outfit. Just do your best to gather an assortment of hats, clothing, or other props to create a simple homemade character outfit.
We look forward to seeing our favorite book characters at school on October 31!
Fall Celebrations of the Joy of Books and Reading
On October 31, here at Little Run, we have a tradition of celebrating the love and joy of reading with Book Character Day! You can show off your favorite character from a book by dressing up like them. Get creative! It's okay if you have to tell a story to explain your idea. The more creative you are, the more you tell us about your favorite stories and love for reading. We'd love to see a variety of characters, creative choices, and representation from the various stories we share.
One more way to show your favorite book character: the Storybook Tissue Box decoration competition! We are starting a new tradition this year; we are trading pumpkins for tissue boxes. In the October 22 Tuesday folders, you will find the directions for the competition. Decorate a tissue box to represent your favorite storybook and storybook character(s). Tissues must be functional and accessible so we can enjoy and use these all year long. This will support joy, creativity, and stuffy noses hopefully through the spring! We look forward to a lot of entries! Due: November 12.
