Hello Rickard families!
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in our Kids Heart Challenge fundraiser! Our school goal was set at $4,000 and we raised $8,728.98! I am so proud of our students and parents for helping make all of this possible and such a success. Since we went way above our goal, instead of receiving $800 worth of new PE equipment we will now get $1,300! The American Heart Association will be sending this in the form of a gift card to U.S. Games. I'm excited that we'll be able to add this to our PE department here at Rickard and that our students will benefit also! If you still have money that you would like to donate, we are keeping the window open until tomorrow, February 4th. You can donate online or your student can bring me the money. I am ordering the larger gifts that the students earned on Friday after school so that's why we need to wrap everything up. The gifts could take 4-6 weeks to arrive but as soon as I get them, I will deliver them to your child. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you again!
-Mrs. Bauska
