Fun Lunch - Friday, November 16th
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 any questions, comments, or concerns.

Teachers! Parents! Students! Calling all Special Disbursement Requests!
Do you have an idea that will enhance the learning environment of Richards School? If so, the PTO wants to hear from you! Richards PTO sets aside Special Disbursement money in its budget each year to fund unique items or projects to benefit Richards School and/or its students. Although most applications for funding come from Richards staff, anyone can apply for Special Disbursement funds.
The deadline for Special Disbursement Requests has been extended due to some confusion with the deadline. The deadline now is Monday, November 26, 2018. All requests will be reviewed and voted on during the PTO Board Meeting on December 10, 2018. Last year the PTO funded over $18,000 worth of Special Disbursement projects! To apply for Special Disbursement funding, or to learn more about projects funded in the past, please visit: https://www.richardspto.org/special-disbursement-form/
