“Richard Elementary focuses on the growth, well-being, and support of all members.  Together, we work to provide students with experiences that enable them to think critically, develop communication skills, and understand what it means to be part of a community.  What sets us apart is the people who invest in our kids, from our teachers to the parents, and the surrounding community."  #BeAwesome
