Boosterthon Sign up today for our Richmond Dance Fit Fundraiser!

Richmond School families,

The day is here! You can now sign up for our Richmond Dance Fit! Our goal is to raise $7,000 for school events including author visits and assemblies, as well as other academic materials. Signing up is easy and free!

So what is Boosterthon/Dance Fit?- Students will learn about character, fitness and

teamwork while families gather donations for our school.

At the end of the program, everyone can participate in the Celebration Event, regardless of financial participation.

Basically students raise money and on February 12th they get 35 minutes where they get to go to the gym to participate in dance activities. It is a ton of fun and a great way to earn money for our school!

Did your 5th grader miss the Candor Health Human Growth and Development Presentation? Did you want to learn more about what 5th graders learn? Below are all of the resources with what was shared during the health presentation (this was the same info shared in the letter introducing Candor) but we wanted families to have this information.
