We made it to 100 days of school! Our students and staff celebrated this milestone by dressing up as centenarians, while others wore crowns and themed shirts. Our educators fully embraced the day by incorporating engaging learning activities, such as tactile play with 100 Legos and writing essays about what students think they will look like or be like when they reach 100 years old.

We now have 80 days of school left. By arriving on time and being ready to learn each school day, we can make each one of those days count and help our students achieve academic success!

Feb. 2-6 is National School Counseling Week, and we are proud to recognize and celebrate our counselors, alongside Director of Social Emotional Learning Lindsay Castro. They approach their work with compassion, professionalism and a deep commitment to what is best for students.

To celebrate the week, Richer Elementary School launched SEL Bingo, a fun, feel-good way to highlight the small yet powerful social-emotional learning moments occurring throughout the school for both students and staff. They also hosted a game of "Who's Who?" to help reintroduce their two counselors on a deeper level to the Richer staff and faculty.

Whether counselors across our district are assisting individual students, collaborating with teachers or helping families navigate challenges, their guidance, care and dedication contribute to creating welcoming learning environments. In these environments, students feel supported, encouraged and empowered to succeed. We are truly grateful for all that our counselors do!
