From the PTO
Fun Lunch is tomorrow: Friday, November 22nd! 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 Kristi at kristientwistle@yahoo.com or Ann Marie at amprekop@gmail.com with questions, comments or concerns.
Holiday Toy Drive Benefitting the Milwaukee Rescue Mission: The Richards PTO and the K4, K5 and 4th grade are hosting a toy drive for the Milwaukee Rescue Mission Holiday Store in conjunction with our December movie night on Friday, December 6th. If you would like to donate, collection boxes are in the lobby by the main office right now until December 6th. There will also be collection boxes at the December 6th movie night. Help make it a happy holiday for hundreds of men, women and children seeking care at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission by providing NEW and UN-WRAPPED gifts (infants-teens, $10 minimum value, please). Thank you for your consideration and generosity!
December Movie Night: The next movie night will feature "Home Alone" on Friday, December 6th in the Great Hall. Doors open at 6:15pm and the movie starts at 6:30pm. The cost for movie night is $5 per family and $2 per student if you are bringing other students - please bring exact change if possible. Please note that all students must be at the movie night with an adult (no student drop offs). We will be selling snacks and drinks for $1 and exact change is appreciated. Bring your sleeping bag, pillows and stuffed animals to enjoy this Friday night fun with friends and the Richards PTO! Please note that there is some mild language in "Home Alone." Parents should visit Common Sense Media for a full review of the movie content. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/home-alone
Amazon Smile Purchases Earn Money For the Richards PTO: Thank you to everyone who has started supporting the Richards PTO by shopping through AmazonSmile. We have already earned some money this year. But you may be wondering, how do I use AmazonSmile through the Amazon app on my phone? The short answer is you can’t use AmazonSmile with the Amazon App on your phone.
However, the good news is that you can set up a shortcut to the AmazonSmile website which gives a near identical experience to the app. It’s very quick and easy to do. Just follow these simple instructions:
- Visit smile.amazon.com in your web browser.
- Make sure you select “Richards School PTO” as your charity organization
- Next, hit the share button at the bottom middle of your screen.
- Now click add to Home Screen (you may have to scroll down to find it). You have just created a shortcut to the Amazon Smile page to easily navigate here from the homepage.
You can still use your Amazon app to add items to your cart, but you can simply go to the AmazonSmile shortcut to make your purchase and a .5% donation will be given to Richards. Create the shortcut now in time for your holiday shopping!
November PTO Meeting: Please join us on Monday, November 25th at 7:00pm in the Great Hall for our next PTO meeting. Come find out what is new with the PTO!
