Thank you to ALL of our Bulldog Parents and Community that came bundled up to cheer on our Bulldogs today for our Growth Parade!

We are SO proud of the personal and academic growth goals students have set for themselves and all of the ways they show they are dedicated to exceeding their goals and continuing on a path of success!

Check out more pics and behind the scenes photos @ RJ Facebook!

Congratulations goes to our Top Dawgs for the 3rd Six-Weeks for demonstrating leadership in academics, character, attendance, and Spirit, Pride, and Honor!

We are proud to add these Top Dawgs to our Top Dawg Hall of Honor at RJ! Thank you for representing yourselves and our school with such Spirit, Pride, and Honor that all can see!

Mrs. Dillard was nominated by her fellow colleagues and selected by a campus team and committee as the R.J. Richey Elementary 24-25 Teacher of the Year!

Mrs. Dillard teaches 4th grade math and science at RJ and serves as the fourth grade team leader. Her colleagues applaud how she seeks to help grow every single student in her class and beyond by tailoring instruction to each individual student so that they learn at their own level and pace. Mrs. Dillard is a team player, always willing to help mentor another teacher and she's an avid, eager learner, always looking for how she can best help support all RJ Bulldogs toward success!

Congratulations Mrs. Dillard!
