Tryouts in March and league play is April thru May. Emergency training All Richland School District principals, assistant principals, and administrative assistants recently attended emergency protocol training at Benton County Emergency Services. Local police led the sessions focusing on the response tactics needed if an armed intruder came on campus during lunchtime. “These trainings are part of the District’s ongoing efforts to help our school administrators be as prepared as possible for a worst case scenario,” noted Superintendent Rick Schulte. In addition, Richland and West Richland fire and police visit RSD schools regularly. These visits foster positive relationships between staff, students and the emergency responders, and give them familiarity with each building. Bond issue update In February 2013, Richland School District residents approved a $98 million bond issue to improve education facilities. Here is an update: ·Construction of the new middle school in West Richland will begin in late February. ·Construction of the new Marcus Whitman Elementary School is on schedule to be completed this August.

DONATIONS NEEDED! Dear Parents, We need your help with donations for our annual Grand Slam night on March 24th. We are in need of items for our student basket giveaways. Donations from businesses are also needed. Please bring items or baskets for the following themes according to your child’s grade:
Please bring donations to your class by Friday, March 4th. The class with the most donations will receive a prize!
BOX TOPS
Congratulations to Mrs. Perrault’s classroom, where LC the Eagle mascot has found
a new perch! Mrs. Perrault’s class won our most recent Box Tops collection contest by submitting more than 450 Box Tops clippings during December. So far this school year, Lewis and Clark supporters have submitted more than 5,700 Box Tops clippings, worth 10 cents each. Box Tops help pay for educational and playground supplies, field trips, and other PTA-‐sponsored events, so please keep those scissors busy! If your classroom would like to host LC, just collect your Box Tops clippings in a plastic baggie, label the baggie with your classroom teacher’s name, and either hand it to your teacher or drop it in the Campbell’s Soup collection bin in the school lobby. (Your bags will be reused when the clippings are mailed off.) At the end of each month, the class with the most Box Tops will give LC a home for the following month. Plus the classrooms that submit the most Box Tops over the course of the year will win an ice cream party! The next Box Tops due date is Friday February 5th. The PTA is also still collecting Labels for Education bar codes and Coke product reward codes. Just drop your Labels for Education bar codes and Coke rewards codes in the Campbell’s soup collection bin in the school lobby, and a PTA member will take care of the rest. Thank you for your support!
Next movie night is March 4th at 6:30pm
