Dear Richard Families and Friends,
Thank you for another wonderful school year! Once again, it has been a pleasure to work with such a fabulous staff and such talented children. The en re Richard faculty and I have appreciated all of the parent input and all of the volunteers that have contributed so much me and energy toward the educa on of our students. The support from parents re-mains an important part of the success of the children. Working together, teachers and par-ents are able to encourage students to take on responsibility and work toward independ-ence. This is truly a learning community.
The end of the school year is a me for reflec on and a me for recogni on of growth and progress. From our kindergarteners, self-assuredly finding their way around the en re school building without any difficulty, wri ng le ers and numbers legibly, solving math prob-lems, and learning to read, all the way up to our fi h grade students who are ready to move on to middle school, we are so proud of their efforts and achievements.
We hope that all of our students and families have a safe and res ul summer. Remem-ber that children benefit greatly from having assigned chores to do as part of the family and they benefit from free me because they can find plenty of opportuni es to explore, be cre-a ve, play outside and socialize. Summer is also a great me to read for pleasure and we hope all of our children find me each day to spend with a book.
Have a wonderful summer! We look forward to seeing many happy, eager faces on September 9.
Warmly,
Mary MacDonald‐Barre
