Litchfield School District Busy with Fall Activities

Several activities have been taking place in the Litchfield School District this fall, and many more are coming up. Conferences took place on Monday at Litchfield High School and Middle School and Lake Ripley Elementary will have them later in November.

Superintendent Susan Burris says it’s so important for parents to attend the conferences. She says this has been a busy week with the Litchfield School Board candidate forum on Tuesday night, the showing of the documentary “Letters to Eleanore” – featuring Litchfield Middle School student Olivia Haralson – last night, and then celebrating the success of the Litchfield High School Girls Tennis team, and the send-off for the Litchfield High School parliamentary procedures team to the National FFA convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Burris says the Litchfield High School football team has a play-off game on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Litchfield against Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted. She says the drama department will present “Footloose” October 31st, November 1st and November 2nd at 7 p.m. and November 3rd at 2 p.m. in the Bernie Aaker Auditorium; and then the Indoor Marching Band concert will be held on November 8th and 9th at 7 p.m. in the Litchfield High School gym. Burris says amongst all of the activities, she’d like to thank the community for all of their support to her so far.

Burris says there will be Veterans Day programs in the Litchfield School District next month, and the Student Council is hosting a blood drive on November 14th from 7-to-3 in the High School gym.
