We are excited that we continue to grow at R.J. Richey! With new students joining the R.J. Richey family in each grade level, we know that some of our class sizes continue to grow! However, we are committed to providing the highest quality educational experience for our students and as we continue to enroll new bulldogs at RJ, we also continue to welcome new teachers and support staff to our RJ Richey staff team!

Please let us introduce to you some of the newest members of our team, as we have added teachers in all grade levels, including 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade to help support larger class sizes and student needs. Many of our newest teachers help with co-teaching and in-class additional support to ensure our student to teacher ratio is low, as well as help to pull-out small groups of students for added intervention and enrichment too!

Please help us welcome these newer members to our team, even though some of them have been with us throughout 2023! We look forward to a very bright 2024 together!

Welcome to:

-Mr. Harris - 4th grade

-Ms. Smtih - 3rd grade & intervention

-Ms. Petriccia - 5th grade & enrichment/intervention

-Ms. Allen - behavior & special program support

We celebrated the end of the 3rd Six-Weeks in December by drawing for our Spirit, Pride and Honor prizes with winners in each grade level for the Jordan Bags, Lululemon bags, Stanley Tumblers, iPad, and Nike Jordan Apparel! Congratulations to this Six-Weeks winners!

We LOVE rewarding our Bulldogs for how they model and exhibit Spirit, Pride, and Honor at RJ! This means students are "caught with character," have GREAT attendance, constantly make improvements and work to excel academically, and make AWESOME choices by applying the 7 Habits to their daily school life at RJ!

As a reminder, be sure to check out the parent letter about our RJ Core Values and what Spirit, Pride, and Honor looks like in action with our Matrix that includes attendance and the 7 Habits in Leader in Me. You can help encourage your student and talk to them about the Core Values at home as well.

Each Six-Weeks, students have the option to earn more and more tickets for prizes of their choice!

We are looking forward to celebrating many more GREAT RJ successes with our next Six Weeks drawings at the end of this semester that include:

Next Prizes for next Six Weeks include:

• Apple iPad
• Stanley Water Bottles
• Stanley Straw Cover Packs
• Bluetooth Speaker
• Lightup Musical Lamp
