Messages from Dr. Kasmarick
Thank you to all of the families who joined us for Lunch on the Lawn and Spring Sing performances today! I hear that the weather has always come through for this important day at Richards School, and this year was no exception.

A shout out to our fabulous music teachers, Alyssa Wilda and Twila Bergeron, for their spirit, creativity, and commitment in preparing our students.

If you did not have a chance to respond to the brief FOL/Spring Sing Survey today, please consider doing so! We want our all-school performances to be accessible and meaningful to our families, so we value your input on how they are structured.
Finally, thank you to our PTO, Art Department, and Beautification Committee for this year's successful cultural arts project! The butterfly garden is looking fabulous and the enhancements to our front hallway will forever remind us of the process.
If you can dream it, you can do it. - Walt Disney

Put your old Junior Great Books readers to good use! Donate back to the Richards JGB program!
Calling all families who may still have a Junior Great Books student reader lying around the house. If you no longer need it, would you consider decluttering by donating it back to the Richards Junior Great Books program? We're hoping to build up the library so this program can run at no cost to kids in the future. If you have a book to donate, please bring or have your child bring it to the Richards office, and put it on top of the blue bin in the mail room. Thank you very much! Questions? Contact Anne Chapman at annechapman4@gmail.com.
