Leader in Me
Begin with the end in mind.
- As the students, staff and families of Richmond Drive, we take the time to define our vision and purpose clearly.
- We have the opportunity to define outcomes before we act.
- We can make choices that shape our future, rather than leaving it up to other people or circumstances.
