Fun Lunch Tomorrow, Friday, January 4th!
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 Dinner and Food Drive
The Richards PTO and 3rd Graders invite you to “share the love” this February and participate in our Hunger Task Force Dinner and Food Drive. The Hunger Task Force Dinner will be on Friday, February 8th from 5:00 to 6:30 pm in the Great Hall. All guests are encouraged to bring a canned good to the dinner to kick-off the Richards food drive. See the below link to an informational flyer and the order form. Paper order forms will go home in Thursday folders today. Dinner forms are due back by January 25th.
Don’t forget to also bring extra money on February 8th for the bake sale benefiting Hunger Task Force. Following dinner, we will have family bingo from 6:30 to 7:30 pm; families can RSVP for bingo on their dinner forms. All dinner and bingo forms must be returned by January 25th to your child’s teacher. Please reach out to Brenda or Mary Kathryn at brennapierala@yahoo.com or marykathryn.malaney@gmail.com with any questions.
The Richards Hunger Task Force Food Drive will run from February 11th to March 1st. All students are encouraged to bring as many non-perishable food items as possible to school during those three weeks. The Hunger Task Force experiences fewer food donations after the holidays and Richards plans to change that! Help us “share the love” this February and bring in as many food items as possible to donate during the Richards Hunger Task Force Food Drive – February 11th to March 1st!
