Staff Appreciation Week! Don’t Forget to Decorate Your Circle! Due Tomorrow! Staff appreciation week is almost here and we need your children’s help transforming the main entrance bulletin board into a special display for the Richard’s staff. Please remember to decorate or to write a special message of appreciation to staff on the circle that was sent home on 4/18. The circle will be used to help the display “blossom”. Please return the circle in the attached baggy to your child’s teacher by tomorrow, May 3rd. The children will be so excited to find their circle in the display and the staff will appreciate the special touch! Thank you so much for helping celebrate the awesome teachers and staff of Richard’s school! If you misplaced your circle you can find extras in the office. For questions contact Brenda: brennapierala@yahoo.com.
It's not too late to donate to Staff Appreciation Week! We still will be accepting donations from our Richards Community to help make the week a success. You can contribute online by visiting richardspto.org and scrolling down to the “We Love our Richards Staff Members” section or by sending in the form and a check. Questions?

Dudettes are welcome to attend as well. Donuts, coffee and beverages will be provided. Nut free and gluten free donuts will also be available. Dudes - mark your calendars!
We Need You! As the end of the school year approaches, your Richards PTO Board will start to plan for next year. We will need to fill some Board positions and we also would like to see some new parent faces get more involved with the PTO. It’s fun, we promise! You can choose your level of involvement – as minimal as volunteering once in awhile at an event or on a committee; being a committee chair or being a member of the Board. If you are interested or have any questions – please reach out to either Sarah at sarahzirbelnowak@gmail.com or Susan at susan.stadt@gmail.com.
