BARBER BULLETIN:
Creating Joyful Leaders and Learners Week of March 5-9
DETAILS ABOUT OUR SCHOOLWIDE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MARCH 5 AT 1PM:
Here is our schedule: Remember to wear your BE THE LEADER shirts!
12:45pm Turn on VBRICK. I will be on VBRICK prepping students for a video that they will view.
12:55pm Video will instruct all classes to file outside into the courtyard. Please be kind and give front row spaces to our younger students. There will be folding chairs set up on the top row and, I hope, others can even stand behind that row of chairs.
What to expect?
Music will be playing and mascots will be on hand along with Spring Valley cheerleaders! Encourage your students to join in on the excitement by cheering, chanting, and showing their enthusiasm. This is SYNERGY at it's best! Multiple media will also be present! If students or staff are invited to interview, please feel free to do so! Our chorus will begin the short program by singing our Pontiac school song! Join in if you know the lyrics!
Following the announcement, you will receive a stack of papers to give out to each child in your classroom to take home to their parents. You may return to your classrooms and resume instruction.
We are so excited to share this news with our school!
A message from our school nurse
Also, as we continue to be part of Adopt A Doc program, we would like to begin a Staff Step Challenge after Spring Break! If you are interested, please let Nurse Larck know and details will be forthcoming!
Order of the Flame

The Richland Two Order of the Flame has been established by the Richland Two Education Foundation to recognize graduates, former employees and friends of Richland School District Two.

Such persons may have contributed in an extraordinary way — including enhancing the quality of education in Richland Two; improving district programs; enhancing the welfare of others by outstanding leadership and service; or dedicating themselves to a profession that resulted in products, services or activities that entertained, helped or inspired others.
Awardees of the Richland Two Order of the Flame have represented the District with honor, humility and high moral standards.
