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:
