Rocket News & Information
Grocery Bags Needed!
Crayola ColorCycle
Crayola and schools across North America are banding together to help kids understand the importance of their role in protecting the environment. Crayola ColorCycle initiative is asking students in K-12 schools across the continental United States and parts of Canada to collect and repurpose used Crayola markers.
Richards teachers are using this recycling program as an opportunity to explore eco-friendly practices with their students. You can pitch in by helping your child to collect old markers and bring to the school for recycling!

Talk With Your Teen About E-cigarettes
With the recent outbreak of severe pulmonary disease associated with the use of e-cigarette products, the CDC has made available information to address the issue in schools and for parents of teens.
We would like to share this important document with our community: "Talk With Your Teen About E-cigarettes: A Tip Sheet for Parents".
You will also find this link on the "Parent" and "Health & Wellness" tab of the Richards website.
