During the month of February, we will be inviting guest readers into classrooms to share a book related to Black History Month. A list of recommended books is available; please click HERE for more information on the available books. If you have a different title in mind, feel free to email your suggestion to our LRC Director, Brittany Brandenburg, at brittany.brandenburg@d303.org.

To sign up, we are using Sign Up Genius. Please note that you will need to create a FREE account if you do not already have one. To sign up for a reading slot, click HERE. You will be prompted to provide the name of the book you plan to read.

Thank you for volunteering to share your time and inspire our Richmond learners!

Boosterthon is a school fundraising company that helps schools raise money through physical activity and character education programs. We are excited to partner with Boosterthon this year. Students spend the weeks leading up to our 2/12 Dance Fit event collecting donations. Then on the big day, they'll dance during a high-energy school-wide celebration! See intro flyer below and stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks!

2nd grade families - please see the letter below regarding the CogAT assessment. We will take the assessment on 1/28 at Richmond in the afternoon.
