Save the date for the annual Hunger Task Force Food Drive and Family Dinner! All proceeds benefit the Hunger Task Force.
- Food Drive: February 19th-March 18th
- Family Dinner and Dance: March 18th, 5-7pm
Historically, Richards donates more than any other elementary school in the area. Over the last twenty years, Richards has donated over $32,000 and 85,000 pounds of food to the Hunger Task Force!
Last week, the third grade had the wonderful opportunity to tour the Hunger Task Force facility and to learn about the HTF's efforts to provide food to a network of local food pantries and meal programs. Hunger Task Force is the only food bank in Milwaukee that does not charge for food, delivery or network membership so every donation helps! More details to come soon!
The second annual Richards High Interest Day (HID) will take place on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 29th. We are looking for presenters! Do you have a career you're passionate about or a talent or hobby you would like to share with Richards students? If so, sign up to be a presenter!
HID presenters will need to be at school on Wednesday, April 29th roughly from 12:00-3:00pm. The afternoon will be split into 3 – 30-minute sessions and each volunteer will be responsible for sharing their talents, hobbies or occupation with 3 different groups of children. Presenter registration is open on-line until February 29th. Visit the PTO website and click on High Interest Day 2020 in the main navigation. The deadline to sign up is February 29th. Questions? Ask Sarah at sarahzirbelnowak@gmail.com.
Box Tops are Due February 26th: If you still have traditional Box Tops clips at home, make sure to send them to school by February 26th. We will still earn cash for all clipped Box Tops until they expire. Better yet, you can “double dip” during the packaging transition by clipping traditional Box Tops AND scanning your store receipt containing participating products.
