Richardson 4th graders had a fantastic field trip to the state capitol, where they explored our state’s history and government.

A special highlight— a photo of some of our students was included in an article on MPR News!

Thank you to the Lion's Club and their KidSight Program which utilizes PlusOptix technology for vision screening! They recently finished vision screening of 1,250 Early Childhood and Kindergarten students across ten buildings over four weeks with a 20% vision referral rate.

Additionally the Lions have placed drop boxes for used donated prescription glasses/sunglasses to be collected and will be repurposed for adults and children throughout Minnesota. Please send donated glasses in good condition to Eagle Point, Justice Alan Page, or Carver elementary school for year round collection. For more information see Recycled Glasses Program through Lions Club

We would like to thank all the Lions Volunteers (listed below) as well as the 622 teachers, paras, staff, administration, and school nurses for their support.

Students and staff at Harmony Adult Education celebrated "Feast Day", a beautiful gathering where delicious foods were shared from family favorites to traditional dishes from around the world.

After the feast, a "Get to Know You" game of bingo was played where students mixed and mingled, learning more about one another while filling out their bingo cards—and a few lucky winners even took home a prize! We grow by learning from and celebrating one another.

This program is paid for by the Minnesota Department of Education After-School Community Learning grant and will be offered at no charge to participants. The main purpose will be to provide students with a wide variety of enrichment clubs, academic support, leadership opportunities and culturally affirming clubs. Students will be able to participate in clubs with focuses on art, science, financial literacy, athletics, cultural appreciation, theater, debate, music and much more. Many clubs will also contain an academic focus that will qualify them as Targeted Services classes and that will allow students to improve vital academic skills while enrolled in the club. Clubs will be run by a combination of licensed teachers, paraprofessionals, outside vendors and student leaders from within ISD 622. We are currently looking to hire high school students who have a passion that they would like to share. Employment begins in September. Call 651-748-7431 for details. Check out the F.L.I.G.H.T web page to learn more!

Minnesota has identified cases of measles in children who recently returned to the U.S. after traveling internationally. The decline in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage, coupled with the increase in measles disease nationally and internationally, puts Minnesota at risk of additional measles cases and a measles outbreak.

MDH has information about measles and the MMR vaccine: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/measles/measlesfacts.html

If your child has any symptoms, please contact your medical provider and school nurse.
