This week Richmond orchestra students had their winter concert. All of the groups did an amazing job and sounded fantastic!

This week students have had the opportunity to glaze their clay pieces! Third graders are making an initial tile, fourth graders are making a coil piece of pottery, and fifth graders are creating a cake or cupcake container. Be sure to look for these to come home right before winter break!

In Empower, we finished up our Get Out and Play/Get on Board unit last month. Students chose to create either an outdoor group game, indoor group game or a board game. There were dozens of great games created! We are now moving into our Build It unit in 3rd and 4th grade and FLEX in 5th grade. Be on the lookout for information on our Empower showcase after winter break when you will be invited to see our city installation, play student created arcade games and learn about languages, cultures and countries around the world.

The Richmond Kindness Club will be sponsoring a Mitten Drive from November 27 through December 22. Donations will go to Richmond students as well as other local programs in need. If you choose to make a donation, mittens may be dropped off in the Richmond office. Thank you kindness club for spreading kindness to others!

Attention parents! Our Lost and Found is overflowing! Check out this video to see for yourself! If your child has lost anything- sweatshirt, jacket, coat, hat, gloves, water bottle, lunch container, snow pants - you name it, we have it! Please have your child take a look before winter break. Thank you!

We wanted to pass along this information that 4th graders get free entry to national parks! For more info, click HERE
