THIS MUCH FUN NEEDS YOUR HELP!

BOOK FAIR! Wednesday, Oct 18: 8am-3pm & 5pm-8pm & Thursday, Oct 19: 8am-7pm
Join us for the fall Scholastic Book Fair. There will be wonderful titles that can be enjoyed by all ages. We look forward to seeing you! Classes will be stopping by during the day to shop and create a wish list. Teachers will also select "wish list" books. Look for the teacher wish list books when you visit. Last year families donated over 100 books back to the school. We look forward to seeing you!
Want to volunteer to help? There are a few slots left.

Richards Hunger Task Force Dinner
The third grade will once again be hosting a Richards Family Dinner on Wednesday, October 18th. Enjoy a quick and tasty dinner the same night as Family Fun Night and the Book Fair. All proceeds from the dinner go to the Hunger Task Force. The third graders take ownership of the dinner from the set-up to the clean-up, and we are hoping to raise even more money than last year. Historically Richards School gives the largest donation of any elementary school, and last year Richards donated over $2,800!
You should have received the yellow dinner order form in Thursday Folder a few weeks ago and is linked below. Dinner order forms will be due to your child’s teacher no later than tomorrow, Friday, October 13th. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to a wonderful event! Questions? Contact Colleen Buckley (colleenbuckley@yahoo.com) or Lucy Judy (g3lcjudy@yahoo.com ).
Fun Lunch
The first Fun Lunch will be next Friday, October 20th!
Box Tops
Thank you for all of the box tops you've turned in so far! Please keep collecting and turn in all you've clipped by Friday, October 27th for your coordinators' first submission of the school year.
Let's have some fun and look for the box top table at family fun night! Any amount of box tops you turn in that night earns you a pick from the sucker tree. You may even be lucky enough to win a prize too! If you can't make it to fun night, please keep turning them in at school in a bag, envelope or on a collection sheet! Thank you!
