From the PTO
Share Your Photos with the Yearbook: Since this has been a unique year, we will not have the number of photos that we typically do for our yearbook so we’re asking for your help. We would love to see what your students have been up to since the beginning of this school year! Please share photos of:
- first day of school
- virtual learning
- virtual class parties
- class projects
- your students working on any special projects, activities, or artwork for school
- or anything else you’d like to share with us!
Show us what you have! Email photos to Kristin at richards.yearbook@gmail.com.
Picture Retake Day: Did your child's photo not turn out exactly as you had hoped? The good news is that our photographer can retake the picture! Retake Day will be held on Wednesday, January 20th from 3:00-4:30 pm in the Great Hall. Click here to sign up. Can't make Retake Day? Please call Visual Image Photography at (262) 375-4457 to set up an appointment to have your child's picture taken at their studio in Cedarburg.
Amazon Smile: The holidays are over, but the pandemic is not, and we know many of you are still doing most of your shopping online! Please consider making your charity the Richards PTO on Amazon Smile! Amazon Smile purchases earn money for the Richards PTO every time you shop. Visit smile.amazon.com in your web browser. Make sure you select “Richards School PTO” as your charity organization. Shop and earn money for Richards at the same time!
Miltown Eats Offer Has Been Extended! The Richards PTO is partnering with Miltown Eats – a local home meal kit service. Richards families will receive 25% off the first delivery and the Richards PTO will receive $20 per family referral bonus for signs up who receive a meal. Visit their website miltowneats.com to browse what you would like to order and enter the code RichardsPTO to get the 25% off. This is a great way to make life a little easier for our families during these unusual times and also raise money for the Richards PTO! Questions? Contact Kristen at lafond19@yahoo.com or Erin at erin.haan@gmail.com.
Box Tops for Education: The Box Tops for Education program has changed the way we can earn cash for our school! Participating brands have changed their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label. Instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by scanning your receipt. The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online. Download the app on your phone, set your school to Richards Elementary School and scan your receipts. It’s easy and contact free!
Spirit Wear Still Available: Are you looking for youth size short and long sleeve t-shirts or hooded sweatshirts with last year’s logo? There was a slight logo change for Richards, so we will be selling our on-hand inventory (last year’s logo) at a discounted rate [S/S tees: $5, L/S tees: $7, hoodies: $15.] Log into your Membership Toolkit account to purchase while supplies last.
Virtual Lego Club: There was no virtual Lego challenge this week but stay tuned for details next week about the virtual Lego Challenge schedule for the next few months.
