Parent Survey - Student Clubs
We would love to gather feedback from parents on the student clubs at Richmond this year. We had two types of clubs this year: clubs that met on Friday mornings and clubs that met on other days and times. Please let us know what you thought of all the different clubs by taking this survey.
Chicago Bears - Mini Monsters Program
We are excited for the Bears Mini Monsters day on Friday, April 28th. There will be two sessions that day.
- Session One will be from 10:30-Noon (5th grade, Breseman, Navis and Lyman)
- Session Two will be from 12:30-2:00 p.m. (3rd grade, Luebke, Adolph and Winter).
We do have enough parent volunteers for the day, but spectators are welcome to bring a lawn chair/baseball chair and watch the event if they choose. Parent observers may attend but are spectators and can watch the event, but should not participate with students/volunteers. We do ask that parent spectators still check into the office to get a visitor badge before proceeding to the fields.

Together We Can Find It! Please view this quick powerpoint with photos of every item in our lost and found. Also, our Parapazzi Club made a fun little presentation about our Lost and Found Items and you can view it HERE. Hoping you can find your lost items!
