Dear Families,

75th Anniversary Celebration

The Open House was wonderful. Thank you to our families for participating in the art walk and taking part by watching the recorded performances. It was heart warming to see the students share their learning with you. What a celebration!

Thank you! Our 75th Anniversary Celebration was a success. During the morning assembly we were honored by the presence of Trustee Susan Vukadinovic Ward 8 & 9, Chief Superintendent Joanne Pitman, Superintendent of School Improvement Dr. Jennifer Turner, Educational Director Area 7 Mr. David Dyck, as well as members of School Council. The student performances were outstanding and represented their learning and understanding of the past to present over the decades to 75 years.

Important: Next Year School 2025-2026 Update

If you plan on moving and your child(ren) will not be attending Richmond School, please email Ms. Gocal at begocal@cbe.ab.ca as soon as possible if your child(ren) will not be returning. Our student number count is important in our planning for the upcoming school year 2025-2026.

Grade 6 Fundraiser for Camp Kindle

Grade 6 students will be doing another Fundraiser for their Camp Kindle Trip from June 2 to 4. This time they will be selling Spring Candy Grams at a cost of 5 dollars each. These Candy Grams will come with a message and students can begin purchasing them next week. Students may buy a Spring Candy Gram for themselves, or the following individuals in their lives…

  • A friend in their class
  • A friend from another class (students should know which class their friend is in)
  • A favorite teacher in the school
  • A Parent or Family Member

Grade 6 students will be going around to each classroom and begin taking orders for Candy Grams beginning Monday April 14. Students will be able to order a candy gram until Thursday April 17.

Candy Grams will be delivered to students at the end of the day on Tuesday April 22.

Thank you for supporting our Grade 6 trip to Camp Kindle
