Roadrunner Roundup
Dear Roadrunner Families,
What a busy and exciting week it has been at Little Run! We experienced what we hope was a final blast of wintry weather, and we are looking forward to being well on our way to spring and warmer temperatures soon.
It was wonderful to see so many of our families shopping at the book fair this week and enjoying our Family Literacy Night! We want to give a big shout-out to Ms. Maenz, our Librarian, for her amazing work with the book fair and to all the parent volunteers who helped make this event such a success.
We also want to share a special thank you to Ms. Andrea Carroll, our Reading Specialist, who organized an incredible Family Literacy Night: "Camp Read-a-Lot!". It was a fantastic evening of reading and literacy for the whole family, and we loved seeing our community come together to celebrate a love of books.
We are grateful for your continued partnership in making our school a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow. We hope you have a relaxing weekend ahead!
Sincerely,
Christie Yarn, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
