From the PTO
Thank you to all who came to support the Richards Scholastic Book Fair! It was a huge success! We raised over $3500 for the Richards PTO and had over 250 books donated back to the classroom. Simply amazing! We couldn’t have done it without the help of the superb Richards Custodial Staff, along with the wonderful group of volunteers we had. Thank you to all who donated their time to help make the Book Fair so successful!
Be sure to join us for our Spring one-day Book Fair on May 8, 2019.
Your Book Fair Chairs,
Amy Sarnowski, Jen Willems, and Carrie Osswald

First Submission Box Tops Deadline is October 29th - this coming Monday!
Thank you so much to all that have already turned in your box top collections, and a reminder to those who have not yet, that our first submission is fast approaching! You can turn in your box top clippings at any time during the school year, but we especially appreciate it during our promoted collection times, as many will expire directly after the scheduled collections. Box tops can be turned in with your students in an envelope or Ziploc or on any new or old collection sheet by Monday, October 29th. If you haven't participated yet, please consider doing so and helping Richards School earn easy, free money! Thank you.
Direct Donation Drive Happening Now!
PTO funding creates an alternate source of financial support for our school. By contributing to the PTO, you are creating a channel of private funding to meet our teachers and student’s needs. All the money the PTO raises goes directly back to Richards, and as part of the PTO, parents get to work with teachers and school administration to say where and how these funds are spent. Haven't had an opportunity to make a donation yet this year? A form and envelope were sent home in last week's Thursday folder for an easy way to donate. Thank you for your support!
2018 Holiday Stroll Parade
Richards School is invited to walk in the 2018 Holiday Stroll Parade on the evening of Friday, November 23rd. We’re looking for someone to help coordinate the school’s presence in the parade. You will be in charge of:
- Recruiting fellow Richards families to walk with you
- Picking up the Richards PTO banner from the front office prior to Thanksgiving break
- Communicating with the WFB Parade Coordinator so you know when and where to meet on the evening of the parade
The parade route is short, and it’s fun to see a bunch of familiar faces in the crowd. If you’re interested, please email Susan Stadtmueller susan.stadt@gmail.com by or before October 29th. Thank you!
