Dear Littlestown High School Families,

As we enter the month of December, I want to extend my gratitude for the continued partnership and support you provide to our students and staff. This time of year always brings a mix of reflection and anticipation, and I am proud of all that our students have accomplished so far.

Our fall season concluded with outstanding performances both in and out of the classroom. We continue to be inspired by students who are excelling academically, athletically, musically, and beyond. Students are serving in our community and taking on new opportunities to grow.

December also marks an important stretch of learning as we approach the midpoint of the school year. I encourage students to stay focused, take advantage of available support, and maintain healthy routines during this busy time. Our teachers and staff remain committed to helping every student succeed.

As we look ahead to the winter break, I hope your family finds time for rest, connection, and celebration. Thank you for being an essential part of the Littlestown High School community. We are grateful for your trust and partnership, and we look forward to a strong start to the new year.

Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

Dr. Nathan Becker

Principal, Littlestown High School

With winter weather fast approaching please be sure that your students are wearing proper clothing and footwear for the weather and being cautious when walking and driving in the winter weather. Also, remember that the temperature in the building can be unpredictable as well, so please be sure that your students have water bottles with them so that they can stay hydrated and are dressed appropriately for the temperature in the school.

Reminder students can not carry any medications with them in school. This includes cough drops and over the counter medications like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, vitamins, or supplements. If your student needs to have medication or needs a cough drop, Tylenol or Ibuprofen, they can visit the health room for these medications. Students are not allowed to bring in prescription medication to the health office, according to school policy all medication must be bought in by a parent and guardian and the parent or guardian will need to sign the medication in with the health office.

The health room does not have any allergy/cold medicine. If your child needs allergy/cold medicine please be sure that they are taking it prior to coming to school and that it will last for 8 hours to get the student through the day.

If you have a student that is in 11th grade, please turn in their physical forms to the health office along with an updated immunization form if you have not already done so.

Please be sure that your student(s) are eating breakfast in the morning so that they can have the fuel they need to get through the morning and be ready to learn. Breakfast is free for all students this year in the cafeteria. Please remind students to stop by and grab something to eat so that they can be fueled to start their day.

Have an enjoyable and safe holiday season. Be sure to take time to relax and refuel your mind and body.

The Varsity Competitive Cheer Team has been hard at work and busy absolutely crushing their seasoned competition. Our competitors have been competing in the game day category for many years and making their way to championships and nationals. Littlestown Varsity Cheer is heavy on their heels, surpassing them and exceeding expectations.

At their first competition they placed 2nd, their second competition they placed 1st and won GRAND CHAMPIONS (receiving the highest score of the day), and at last week’s competition they took home second place with a raw score of 91 which set a Littlestown cheer program record. They came up just short of 1st place to Central York, who placed 8th at Nationals just this past February.

HERE COMES THE STORM LADIES!! Let’s goooo!!
