Yesterday, a survey regarding wrestling was sent out to our HS and JH students to gauge interest. This is the note that was attached.: A group of community members are trying to gather information and potential interest in adding wrestling to the winter sports schedule at BOTH the JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL. This includes BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS WRESTLING.
Things to consider when you answer:
1) Please respond with your SERIOUS consideration. But understand this does NOT require you to commit at this time.
2) This survey does NOT guarantee that wrestling will be added for the 2024-2025 school year.
Thank you
We wanted to let parents know that at 9:45 a.m. the Little River Jr./Sr. High School had a practice "lockdown drill". This type of drill secured the school building and safely sheltered all students, staff and any visitors in the building. The purpose of this drill is to keep the students safe from any danger outside or inside the building in the event of an emergency situation.
Come out and enjoy the wonderful sounds from our Redskin JH and HS Choir and Band, this Thursday, May 2nd at 7:00 PM in the HS Auditorium. Look forward to seeing you all there! Roll Tribe!
