Little River Elementary School celebrated community helpers and heroes on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012 as part of its Red Ribbon Week activities. Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services teams displayed their equipment and explained what they do to support the community. The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office conducted lessons on “Stranger Danger” and did a demonstration featuring K-9 “Yoda” in action. Cherokee County Animal Control officers were on hand teaching lessons on animal bite prevention. The students also had the opportunity to dress as their favorite community helper or hero. The students were dressed as police officers, doctors, firefighters, nurses, soldiers, and there was even one student dressed as Principal Christian A. Kirby.
