Welcome to Fall on this rainy weekend. It was wonderful to see so many of you at Richland for Back to School Night. It is hard to believe we've already had one month of school, and we are so grateful for your partnership. As we move into fall, there are many things to be grateful for and to look forward to. Would you like to share your gratitude for a Richland staff member? Fill out the Staff Shout-Out form in this and every newsletter. I share shout-outs with staff each week. Richland will have its first Fall Fest next month! You can buy tickets now for the whole family. All details are below.

Say cheese! This Friday is Picture Day. You can pre-order picture packages online now through Friday night. Details are in this newsletter.

As a reminder, there is no school on Monday for Yom Kippur.

Have a wonderful week!
