Richey First Take
Sunday, October 8, 2023
At Richey, we recite our PAWS pledge every morning: Practice safe behavior, Act responsibly, Work cooperatively, and Show respect. For doing these things, your children can earn PAWS tickets, which can be used for special activities, events, and prizes.
One of these things is our PAWS cart. The cart comes around a few times during the school year and all of the students may buy items with their tickets.
As you can imagine, this is very popular. We would appreciate your help in replenishing the cart with new items. If you are able to do so, please look at the attached wish list and help us to recognize all of our students for being their best selves.
Please see the link below to help replenish the PAWS cart.
On Friday, October 12th Richey will be showing support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please wear Pink to show your support.
Donations for the Friends of the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center will be collected in each homeroom from Thursday, October 5 - Thursday, October 12.
The homeroom that collects the most in donations will have a pizza party the following week!
