⭐ Introducing our Richards Welcome Ambassadors!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Richards Welcome Ambassadors program — a brand-new leadership opportunity for our Grade 5 students that supports our Capturing Kids Hearts core value of student Empowerment !
Each day, a rotating group of our 5th graders will serve as Morning Ambassadors, greeting students as they arrive, offering a warm welcome, and helping escort their peers safely into the building. Their energy and kindness will help set a positive tone for the entire school day. 🌟
Students were chosen for this role because they have shown responsibility, kindness, and a commitment to being positive role models for others.
We are so proud of each of them!
Please join us in celebrating these amazing young leaders — they represent everything that makes Richards School special. 💙

We are excited to share that all middle and high school students will be participating in a career exploration day on April 22 here at school.This full-day event is designed to help students explore a wide range of career pathways and better understand the many opportunities available to them after high school.
Throughout the day, students will take part in a series of engaging sessions and workshops, similar to a conference experience. We are fortunate to welcome more than sixty local businesses and organizations who have volunteered their time to speak with students, share their career journeys, and provide real-world insight into different industries. In addition, representatives from a variety of colleges will be present, along with resources aimed at helping students prepare for future success.
The day will also include an opportunities fair in the gym, set up much like a job fair. During this time, students will have the chance to:
Connect with professionals from a variety of fields
Learn about organizations that offer support and resources
Discover volunteer opportunities
(For older students) Explore part-time and future full-time employment possibilities
This event is a valuable opportunity for students to expand their horizons, ask questions, and begin thinking more intentionally about their futures. There will be interactive activities throughout the day, and prizes—generously donated by participating organizations—will be awarded.
Students will complete a brief survey about career interests and future plans next week so we can do our best to match them with sessions that fit their goals.
We ask for your support in encouraging your student to attend, engage fully, and take advantage of everything this day has to offer. Experiences like this can play an important role in helping students build confidence and make informed decisions about their next steps.

Mrs. Larson's 5th graders have been diving into the world of water—literally and scientifically! 🌎💧
In our recent science labs, students explored just how much water exists on our planet and took a closer look at one of its most fascinating features: the ocean’s saltiness. Through our “Tiny Ocean” investigation, students created model oceans and discovered that even though salt seems to disappear when mixed with water, it’s still very much there!
Using measurement and graphing, they gathered evidence to show that the salt doesn’t vanish—it keeps the same mass, even when we can’t see it. To take their learning a step further, students also created model salt flats, observing how evaporation leaves the salt behind.
So much curiosity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning happening in our classroom—future scientists in the making!
