We've had a busy few weeks at the elementary! Character assembly, preschool's field trip to the hardware store, which included a scavenger hunt! And Dr. Seuss week!








🎓✨ What an incredible day at our College & Career Fair last week! ✨🎓
Over 20 different booths were set up, offering 7-12th grade students a unique opportunity to connect with top colleges, universities, and potential employers. From exploring higher education options to discovering exciting career paths, it was a fantastic event that inspired so many to think about their future.
A huge thank you to all the participating organizations and to everyone who attended! The energy and excitement were contagious, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things our students will achieve. Go Bears!

Our two Richland students would like to express their gratitude for the community's positive response to their project so far! They are thrilled that all but ONE of the items they submitted have been ordered for their project! This project means so much to them and they are aware they could not have been able to continue without each and every one of you providing them with the resources they received!
