🎓 Hooray and a big congrats to you, Isaac… another one of my favorite 5th graders 😊! You were an empathic and caring classmate back in my 5th grade class. You have continued that to this day.

🚁 A flight nurse you will be! GO FOR IT! I know you will be great!

🥳 Soar high, Isaac!

Mr. Chris Pregler’s sister, Keri, put this MEAL TRAIN link 🔗on her page…

Chris had quadruple bypass this past Thursday if you hadn't heard the news yet.

Please pass this along...

Chris Pregler unexpectedly had to have heart surgery on September 24th. He is recovering well, and there have been no complications! However, it will be a LONG road ahead for his recovery. They could use help with dinners or monetary gifts (for transportation costs to medical appointments, etc.). Th...

Help us keep buses on time! 🚍
As it gets colder outside, it's tempting to stay someplace warm until the bus arrives, like inside a car or home. But this leads to delays as the bus driver waits for students at each stop. It is also dangerous for students as they run or cross streets in a hurry.
⏰ Reminder: Students must be at their bus stop 5 minutes before the scheduled time. Drivers cannot wait for late students.
📲 Track your child’s bus in real-time with the My Ride K-12 app. Visit our Transportation website for setup instructions.
🧣Bundle up! Wear winter clothes to ensure you stay warm at the bus stop.
Let’s work together to keep buses running on time!

New School Hours: Due to the new 25 MPH speed limit in Richfield, we need to shift the school day by five minutes. The reduced speed impacts transportation because our drivers need more time to complete bus routes. The new school hours are 7:25 a.m.-1:55 p.m.

As a reminder, if your child rides the school bus, expect your bus stop information (including location and time) to arrive in the mail the week before school.

Oof. Mother Nature's got a weird sense of humor, huh? The committee was clearing out Vet's Park yesterday afternoon (in the rain) when those first slivers of blue started to shine through. Not gonna lie, that was twisting the knife.

This post is just to answer some questions and frustrations in the community. We've got a couple more upbeat posts to end the year over the next few days. Be on the look out!

There's been a lot of questions about rescheduling fireworks. Here's some behind the scenes (since we promised transparency this year).

The call for fireworks needed to happen before 4pm because of road closures and the extra workforce that the city would be calling in. We couldn't UNcancel when the weather got better because everything was already packed up and there was no one working to support the event.

We could not change the date to the 3rd or the 5th or the 6th. The fireworks vendor can't change that quickly BUT more importantly - we can't ask the Police and Public Works to get teams in for overtime on such short notice. There's also making sure the county and the airport are aware (Did you know Vets Park is like a mile from the airport?). As well as getting volunteers. Other cities may have been able change so quickly because they're further away from airports, other cities, or a major metropolis.

Minneapolis has a much larger infrastructure than Richfield does. They can support the influx of visitors because it happens all the time with festivals, concerts, and sports games.

We won't be rescheduling for later this year. There are 12 people who plan this event. If we rescheduled, the work we've done over the past 6 months would need to be redone in 4 weeks. Given timelines & licensing for vendors, the city and the county, that's not enough time. And we've all got families, jobs, and other commitments that we need to get back to.

While we're absolutely DEVASTATED that we didn't get fireworks we're FLOORED by your commitment to SHOW UP for everything we could do. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Richfield for helping create the community where we want to live.
