Richland Elementary School celebrated our Leaders of the Month on Friday, recognizing students who consistently demonstrate what it means to be a leader at Richland.
Our student Spirit Squad kicked off the celebration with a customized Richland Cheer that embodies our mission: Lead Myself, Lead Together, and Lead with Balance, along with special guest - Richie the Panther!
These students were nominated for showing kindness, compassion, responsibility, respect, and a willingness to help others. They are the classmates who lend a helping hand without being asked, include others on the playground, participate in class discussions, treat others with respect, and make thoughtful choices that help create a positive learning environment.
Congratulations to all of our September Leaders of the Month! We are so proud of the positive example you set for your classmates each day!

Happy Back-to-School Week, Richland Panthers!
Yesterday was filled with excitement for the First Day of School. Superintendent Dr. Hoffman and Principal Dr. Zuerblis visited classrooms and helped students feel right at home on their first day.
While we were able to capture a few smiles throughout the morning, we know our Richland families captured some special First Day of School moments, too!
📸 Parents and families, we would LOVE for you to share your photos with us! Whether it was a photo before heading out the door, getting on the bus, arriving at school, or celebrating after a great first day, send them our way for a chance to be featured in our upcoming Back-to-School Photo Reel on the District website and social media!
