Fun Lunch Tomorrow, Friday, May 17th! 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.
Staff Appreciation Week Thank You! THANK YOU Richards families! The Staff Appreciation Week Committee would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the Richards families who generously donated to Staff Appreciation Week. With your donations, and the support of the PTO and local businesses, we were able to shower our wonderful teachers and staff with fun surprises. The week included a continental breakfast, lunch catered by California Pizza Kitchen, delicious chocolate candies, a day of wellness with chair massages and healthy snacks, and Richards Elementary plastic bins filled with goodies. We also decorated the bulletin board with the artwork your children completed ... check out the PTO Facebook page for a picture!
A lot of excitement came with the daily raffle as well! With your generous donations we were able to hand out 30 baskets filled with great gifts! $25 Amazon gift cards were given to those who did not win a gift basket. This was all made possible with donations from families and local businesses, thank you! A shout out to these local businesses who graciously donated to Staff Appreciation Week - for a complete list, please see the link below. Many thanks to the PTO Staff Appreciation Week Committee who offered their time and creativity to make this a great week: Abby Williams, Mary Kathryn Malaney, Gaby Blake, Brenda Napierala, Michelle Stone, Chrissy Tigrani, Petra Van Malderen, and Allison Wagner.
