Principal’s MessagePhoto of Principal Sarasty

I am truly honored to join the Little River family as your principal.  It’s a privilege to be part of a school where dedication to student success and a spirit of collaboration shine so brightly.

This year, our theme is “One POD, One PURPOSE”—a reminder that when we work together with a shared vision, we can achieve great things for our students.  Our purpose is clear: to create a learning environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired.

We are proud to launch our FINS Up philosophy, which will guide our actions and shape our school culture. At Little River, we will:

  • Focus on Learning
  • Inspire Others
  • Navigate Challenges
  • Safe Choices

These values will help us build a strong, united school community where students are excited to learn, grow, and succeed.

Let’s make this year one of collaboration, celebration, and continuous growth.  I can’t wait to see all that we will accomplish together—One POD, One PURPOSE!
