Dear Families,
Happy Halloween! Thank you for supporting Halloween Color Day at Richmond. Students were engaged in rich learning activities that were Halloween themed and fun! By wearing Halloween Colors, teaching and learning continued while creating an environment of inclusiveness for all our students. Students also shared family traditions, activities and what tonight might look like for them.
We are excited for those families going out “trick or treating” and for those who may be cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays! Whatever the preferred activity is, have fun and be safe!
