Richland #44 students in grades 4-6 competed in both team and individual events alongside students from 15 other school districts in our region. Our sixth-grade team earned 2nd place in their division, and Grace H. placed 2nd in the individual competition for sixth grade.
Great job to all who participated!
Today's staff feature is Katie Hegseth who has served several years as a Jr/Sr HS paraprofessional and earlier this year stepped up to fill a much-needed full-time sub position.

Thank you for all you do, Katie!

We will have a 2-hour late start, Thursday April 3, to allow more time to clear snow-covered roads. Buses will run on a 2-hour delay. AM activities are cancelled.
There will be no school today due to forecasted snowfall. We will make it up on Thursday April 17. Be safe!
