Dear Families,
Wishing our families a safe and fun long weekend and a special Family Day. Thank you for all of your support and HEART!
Today was our Valentine Spirit Day, the students wore a sea of red, pink and white. Thank you for participating in the Spirit of Valentine.
75th Anniversary Celebration
We will be celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Richmond School on Thursday, April 10. There will be an assembly for students, special quests and dignitaries, followed by an Open House for families and community members in the evening.
The special offer of the 75th Hoodie will only be available until February 21; please see the details below in the School Council News.
Spring Celebration 2025
Richmond School is excited to welcome families to our Spring Celebration performances on Thursday March 13, 2025. The Spring Celebration will feature performances from Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 classes. We will hold two performances on Thursday March 13, one during regular school hours and one in the evening. Due to seating limitations, each guest may attend ONE of the two performances. In order to support us in accommodating all parents and guardians, limit tickets to parents/guardians and school-aged siblings. Performers do not need tickets, but siblings do if they will be requiring a seat. We are hoping to provide everyone's first choice of performance time, though this may not be possible. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis using this link: https://forms.office.com/r/LQcGh7DRMZ.
Please contact Mr. Goodridge (adgoodridge@cbe.ab.ca) with any questions.
