Fun Lunch Friday, April 6
Fun Lunch tomorrow, Friday, April 6 is being catered by CPK. Each participating student will receive a pizza, mac n cheese, or a salad in addition to carrots, apple sauce, a Rice Krispie Treat or Oreos, and bottled water.
Don’t forget, CPK is continuing to generously offer a free meal to Richards students when they dine-in with their family! Students who participate in the Fun Lunch program will receive a free kid’s meal when THEIR family is dining. A raffle ticket will be given to each dining student for a chance to win an embroidered chef coat! Raffle tickets will be randomly selected and chef coats will be presented at Fun Lunch. Students that wear their chef coat to CPK will be allowed to make their own pizza! Please note: Only students dining with their families will be discounted and an adult entrée must be purchased for every kid’s meal. This offer is not valid with any other offers or discounts, and is not valid to groups or sports teams.
As always, if you have any question, comments, or concerns please contact Amanda Flegner (amanda.flegner@gmail.com) or Verna Pazaras (vernapazaras@mac.com). We always appreciate your feedback or ideas of how to improve Fun Lunch.
Grow Your Classroom Library Book Drive
That's a wrap! The online portion of the Grow Your Classroom Library Book Drive will end tomorrow, Friday, April 6th. An enormous thank you to all families who have participated in either the Boswell event or have purchased books online. But there is still a little time left and a big need! There are still hundreds of books remaining on the teacher's wish lists so please click on the link below to sign-up to purchase books for the classrooms at Richards. You can either order books online and have them shipped to Richards or drop them off in the office. Together, let's make a huge dent in this list and show our support for the classroom libraries at Richards!

Volunteer Opportunity
We’re looking for a parent helper, or two, to assist in the planning and and execution of a school-wide party on May 25th. The party is a reward for students for their excellent behavior throughout the school year, or as it’s known at school, behaving “The Richards Way.” There are staff members available to help and support you with the planning and implementation of the party. Plan on making yourself available for the majority of the school day on the 25th, there will likely also be a planning meeting or two leading up to the event. If you’re not available to help this year, but think this is something you might be interested in next year, please email Erica or Annie (email addresses below). The PTO will be forming a Richards Way Committee for 2018-2019 school year to help plan this event and other events like it. It’s a great way to get involved and work with Richards Staff and students outside of your child’s classroom.
For more information about the event, or to volunteer, please email Erica Silberman (erica.silberman@wfbschools.com) or Annie Miller (annie.miller@wfbschools.com).
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, May 7-11!
Each year there is one week we celebrate our Richards teachers, staff and crossing guards, to show them how much we appreciate all they do for our children. This year, Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week will be May 7-11 and the Richards PTO has exciting plans! Each day, the PTO plans a special activity, including breakfast, a catered lunch, gifts and sweet treats. Everyone gets excited for the daily raffle as well, and this is where we can use your help!
You should have received an orange colored flyer in your child's Thursday folder weeks ago with additional information on how you can help. If you did not receive the flyer or need another copy, see the link below or visit the PTO website. Thank you in advance for helping make Teacher and Staff Appreciation week a big success!
