Dear Families,
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
(Sing to the tune of Jingle Bells)
No more bells, no more bells,
The days are at an end!
Oh, what fun it is to be on holiday once again!
(Hey!)
No more bells, no more bells,
Students are ENGAGED and full of spark,
Oh, what fun it is to be at Richmond and to show lots of HEART!
Now, we will miss your company,
Please use this time to connect,
We wish you peace and HARMONY!
We know our students always show RESPECT!
Oh, two weeks will fly by,
It's time to have some fun!
Skating, sledding, relaxing - Oh my!
And lots of family time before the break is done.
(ooohhh)
No more bells, no more bells,
The day's are at an end!
Oh, what fun it is to be on holiday once again!
(Hey!)
No more bells, no more bells,
We’ve ADAPTED to the snow,
Now it’s time to speak our TRUTH,
And say Happy Holidays one and all!
Annual Holiday Hampers
Thank you for all the generous donations to help our families in need this holiday season. This is truly a community of HEART.
Popcorn Sales
Thank you for showing HEART and buying a lot of popcorn for our Grade 6 Camp fundraiser. Taking into consideration the cost to buy popcorn, we raised over 800 dollars. The profits from the fundraiser will go towards covering the cost of buses to and from Camp Kindle.
We will be doing another fundraiser in the new year, so please keep an eye out for that.
Thank you for your support!
Grade 6 Students
Looking Ahead:
- Monday, January 5, classes resume at 8:10am
- Friday, January 9, early dismissal, KPM attended 8:10am – 12:00pm
