Richmond School Council Updates
Staff Appreciation Cart:
After such great success last year, School Council is excited to bring back the Staff Appreciation Cart. Every other month, our School Council will be restocking a staff cart with snacks and treats as a small gesture of gratitude for our hardworking staff. These thoughtful contributions go a long way in showing appreciation for the time, care, and dedication our teachers and support staff bring to Richmond School every day.
We are very grateful for any support families can provide. If you would like to contribute, please sign up using the link below:
Fun Lunches:
We are excited to kick off the new school year with the first Fun Lunch of the year with SUBWAY on Wednesday, September 16th! All parents who have children who would like to participate in the school's fun lunches will have to visit the webpage Healthy Hunger and follow the instructions on that page. Please note that Kindergarten students will not be participating in the Fun Lunch program, as they attend school for half days and are not present during lunch. We appreciate your understanding.
Even if you have registered in previous years, you will need to register again to select your child's new class to place an order. Orders for this lunch must be received by the end of Friday, September 11.
Here are the upcoming dates:
- Wednesday, October 14 Opa
- Wednesday, November 18 Via Cibo
The deadline to order is the Friday prior to the Fun Lunch Day.
If you have any questions regarding fun lunches, please reach out to Denise Wanchulak at denisewanchulak@gmail.com
