A Message from the Admin Team

Student parents

Dear Little Run Families,

I want to extend my warmest wishes for a joyous and peaceful holiday season. May your days be filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments with loved ones.

This week has been a wonderful celebration of our school community. We were delighted to see so many families join us for our grade-level celebrations. The events were filled with joy, excitement, and a strong sense of community. I want to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated room parents for their incredible efforts in organizing and planning these special occasions. Your hard work and creativity have made these events truly memorable.

We are also incredibly grateful for our talented and hardworking staff. Their commitment to our students' education and well-being is truly inspiring. We will return to school on January 6th 2025. The new year will also bring a renewed commitment for staff and students as we plan to engage in instructional practices that ensure the success of our students. 

We are also excited to welcome Alison Butler, Assistant Principal to our team. 

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Christie Yarn

Principal
