Box Tops
Thank you to all who participated in our classroom box tops competition! We had wonderful participation and also have a winning class! Mrs. Abadie's kindergarten class will be enjoying a special treat for being the top class to clip and turn in box tops over the last few months. Congratulations to Mrs. Abadie's students and please keep clipping and turning in box tops this spring for our ongoing collection!
Grow Your Classroom Library Book Drive!
Planning for the Grow Your Classroom Library book drive is well underway! Decorations will be going up at Boswell soon, teachers have submitted their classroom library book wish lists and we are confirming our student actors, poets and musicians for the short program! It's going to be a really fun afternoon!
The event will take place at Boswell Book Company on Downer Avenue on Sunday, March 18th. The shopping portion of the event will be from 2:00-6:00 p.m. During this time, you will be able to purchase books for classroom libraries at Richards directly from the teacher wish lists. These books will be set aside in a specific location for easy shopping. In addition, 15% of the sales during this time will go back to Richards to purchase even more books! The short program featuring student performances will be at 3:00 p.m. Light refreshments will also be served. Visit the PTO website for more information and also don't forget to "Like" the Richards PTO page on Facebook and view updated event details there. Come shop and mingle!
5th Grade Advancement
Before we know it, our Richards 5th graders will be moving onto middle school! As in years past, the last week of school is filled with fun and events that are sure to send them off with a smile. 5th grade parents, please send in your signed permission slips for the week's events, as well as a $25 payment that will help cover costs for the events during this special week. We also need your help with photos! Please start going through your old photos of your 5th graders at Richards and emailing them to us! Lastly, if you still would like to help out with these events, please email Bridget Hanson or Wendy Welsh (bridget_hanson@msn.com wendywelsh100@gmail.com ).
