Richmond Elementary Staff Bulletin
Making a difference today to create a better tomorrow.
April 8-12, 2019
One District, One Book
Ivan loved to play tag with Tag as a kid. He loved to paint with mud, hence his parents naming him Mud. Much like Ivan in his domain, we are facing a season of uncertainty with our students. Some of our students will begin to worry what the future holds as summer approaches. Each of you is so very good at building and maintaining relationships with our students, much like Ivan and Bob with Ruby. Remember to take time to laugh out loud with your students, to find their happy and share yours. Reach out to your High Fives: How are they today? How is their school year? What makes them happy? Enjoy the video clip below; hope it makes you happy! #Kids Deserve It! #spartansbelivespartansachieve
