RICHLAND REFLECTIONS
Week of 10/23/23 at Richland Elementary School
Dear Richland Families,
It's Red Ribbon Week! The theme involves anti-drugs and anti-bullying. Jared Campbell, our favorite assembly presenter who returns each year, kicks off the week with his message of kindness and anti-bullying on Monday. Check out his music and message here! Our spirit days are below.
Catch lots of highlights below from our first Family Festival. It was a wonderful night with lots of fun! Thank you to our PTO for organizing such an awesome event.
Mid-trimester progress reports will be emailed home on Thursday. Conference dates are included in this newsletter. More photos from our Digital Citizenship spirit week are in this newsletter too!
Friday is Richland's Halloween Parade, and it looks like a beautiful day! Please see details below. Families are invited to watch the parade at our bus loop area on the black top.
Go Phillies!

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY TIPS & TOOLS
HAND STRENGTH AND DEXTERITY
Fine motor skills involve the use of the fingers, hands, and arms for reaching, grasping and manipulating objects. Children need to build strong fine motor skills and dexterity for everything at school: writing, cutting, drawing, playing, leisure skills, self-help and more.
