Fun Lunch - tomorrow, Friday, February 8th!
Fun Lunch tomorrow is being catered by CPK. Each participating student will receive a pizza, mac n cheese, or a salad in addition to carrots, apple sauce, a Rice Krispie Treat or Oreos, and bottled water. Don’t forget, CPK is continuing to generously offer a free meal to Richards students when they dine-in with their family! Students who participate in the Fun Lunch program will receive a free kid’s meal when their family is dining. A raffle ticket will be given to each dining student for a chance to win an embroidered chef coat! Raffle tickets will be randomly selected and chef coats will be presented at Fun Lunch. Students that wear their chef coat to CPK will be allowed to make their own pizza! Please note: Only students dining with their families will be discounted and an adult entrée must be purchased for every kid’s meal. This offer is not valid with any other offers or discounts (including CPK Rewards Program), and is not valid to groups or sports teams.
Please contact Moria Leonhardt (moleonhardt@wi.rr.com) or Amy Mulcahy (amymulcahy13@yahoo.com) with questions, comments or concerns.

Hunger Task Force Food Drive
Please join the Richards 3rd Graders and PTO in "sharing the love" by bringing as many non-perishable food items to school from February 11th to March 1st. We are running our Valentine's Food Drive through February and hoping to restock the Hunger Task Force after the holidays and cold days. We need your help as Richards is typically one of the largest school donors of food to the Hunger Task Force. Join us in a friendly competition between the Richards classes and bring as many items as possible to school between February 11th and March 1st!
If you have any questions, please contact co-chair Allison Wagner at allisonwagner1@gmail.com.

Box Tops Fun!
It’s time for some Box Top fun! Please start marking your child’s grade on your Box Top collection sheet or collection bag for a fun classroom contest. We’ll be tallying up classroom totals and the winning grade will earn a popsicle party at the end of the year! Please turn in large collections by February 27 for a scheduled submission on March 1st; we will, however, keep total through early May with the ongoing collection for the contest! Box Tops may be turned in with your student’s folder or dropped off outside the office in the collection bin. Students can be listening for updates on announcements and watching the tally board outside the office! Let’s have some fun while we clip! Questions? Contact Kristen at lafond19@yahoo.com or Lindy at lindy.utley@yahoo.com.
