Richmond Elementary E-News

A huge thank you to our PTO for the wonderful hot cocoa bar for our staff, and thank you to all of our families for the kind and thoughtful holiday well wishes. We are so grateful for our partnership and wish you a joyful and restful holiday season filled with warmth, laughter, and time with friends and family.

Winter break will run from December 22–January 2. January 5 is a teacher workday, and there will be no school for students. Our school offices will reopen on January 5, and students will return to school on Tuesday, January 6. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year! ❄️

Thank you to our talented singers and orchestra players for filling the hallways with holiday cheer as students entered Richmond!

Thank you to all of our parents and volunteers at our holiday parties! The kids had a blast - thank you for your time and creativity!

Congrats to our 5th graders for completing St. Charles Too Good for Drugs Program. We are very proud of our students! Thank you to Officer Kramer, Mayor Hull and Judge Tegeler for attending and speaking to our students!

Officer Kramer and her dog, Charlie, came to congratulate 5th graders on their TGFD graduation!

Richmond students are making great progress in our Bags to Benches Recycling Challenge. This week alone, we collected 47 pounds of plastic bags! That brings our total to 492 pounds recycled so far.

We’re now just 508 pounds away from our goal of 1,000 pounds to earn a Trex bench made from recycled materials. With holiday shopping and deliveries in full swing, this is the perfect time to set those plastic bags aside and send them in with your child.

Every clean, dry bag brings us one step closer. Thank you for helping our students turn everyday waste into something lasting for our school community!

This awesome dance party is a public event and will take place in the small gymnasium at St. Charles North High School. The Project Dance proceeds support organizations within our district and our community that involve individuals with Special Needs. We provide a safe and comfortable environment where anyone and everyone is invited, no special attire is needed!
