Thanks Mrs. Darlene McCauley

We’d like to thank Mrs. McCauley for the great job she did subbing for Mrs. Amy MacDonald while she was on maternity leave.  We really appreciated the fine job she did each day.

Thank You

I’d like to thank all the Richmond Consolidated School families who I have worked so closely with these last seven years as principal.  It was an honor to guide your children. I am looking forward to a summer off, spending time with my family, reading books and visiting with friends. And then I’m looking forward to the beginning of the next chapter in my life as an educator, working in the classroom again. I hope you too enjoy the summer.  Mrs. Strock

Note from the Kitchen

Bills went out this week.  They were sent home with your students, unless you had a balance more than $40.00.  Those were sent first class mail.  The Kitchen operates with the income generated by lunch and snack sales.  We are not part of the school budget.  For example, if you owe $100.00, that is one week of produce.  Please pay your balance in its entirety by June
