Student leaders hosted our first live announcement broadcast to classrooms this week! Announcements are read each morning by students and will be broadcast via Google Meet into classrooms every Friday. Morning announcements are one of the many leadership opportunities students may apply for. Check out our first crew below and a peek at our job board. We are proud of our student leadership!

We're excited for the Mobile Fab Lab to visit Richland this week where students in first through fifth grades will engage in computer science or digital fabrication activities. It's also Fire Safety Week, and students in pre-k through second grade will get a close up view of a fire truck after hearing safety tips from our local fire fighters.

It's almost time for Richland's first Fall Fest, and ticket sales have been extended until today! Don’t miss your chance to join your Richland family and friends on 10/15 from 5 to 8pm at Rustic Valley Orchard. Order now as ticket sales close today. More information is included in this newsletter.

As a reminder, there is no school for students on Monday as staff will be engaging in professional learning.

Have a wonderful week!
