Dear Parents/Guardians:
Congratulations to all of the students who have earned the opportunity to participate in the annual Hoop Shoot competition that will
be held Wednesday, March 11th, at Seaquam Secondary. This
event is sponsored by Delta Parks, Recreation and Culture, and
challenges teams of students from various North Delta Elementary
schools to sink as many baskets as they can in a 45 second time
period. It should be a very exciting night and we are sure that the
students of Richardson will not only perform very well, but more importantly, will show very good sportsmanlike conduct.
Our Team Representatives are:
Grade 5 Girls: Gurleen, Riley and Stephy
Grade 5 Boys: Ansh, Himmat and Mike
Grade 6 Girls: Parneet, Rajnit and Tanisha
Grade 6 Boys: Harman, Ty and Ridham
Grade 7 Girls: Andrea, Kailey and Khyra
Grade 7 Boys: Eurich, Lukas and Nikheel
It is also important to recognize the designated team spares, as
well as other students who came to our lunchtime practices, and
encouraged their teammates from the sidelines. Team Spares:
Rajan, Jasmine, Gloria, Danielle, Pooja G., Maneeta, Muneefah,
Nino, Ravjot, Walter, Ken, Shaan, Agam, Hogan, Arjun, Dev, Pavel,
Kyla and Jaya.
Good Luck in the competition!

TRACK AND FIELD
Spring is almost here … and that means Track Season is beginning at Richardson! Again this year, all of the Grades 4, 5, 6 and 7 girls and boys will be involved in large group practices for their running, jumping and throwing events.
Practices will be held each Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:50 a.m. (We
held our initial sign-up earlier this week, and practices will begin tomorrow,
Thursday, March 12th.)
Our team will meet on the all-weather field on most days. On rainy days, we may go inside the
school and be involved in circuit training. Children should come to all practices dressed appropriately for our running activities (e.g., PE strip). They should also bring a change of t-shirt, extra socks,
and a water bottle. If your child has missed the first sign-up to join our team, he/she is welcome to
do so at our next practice on Tuesday, March 31st. (More information will be sent home in April
when we return from our Spring Break holidays.)
If there are any parents who would like to come and help us at our large group practices, please
come and see Mme Wilson in the office. Thank you! Merci!
LOST CLOTHING
Don’t forget to stop by the lost and found display by the office to claim your child’s missing items of
clothing. Smaller items like jewelry and keys are at the office. All unclaimed items will be donated to charity by March 13, 2015.

Report cards will be sent home today. Please sign the report card envelope and return it to the
school by Friday, March 13, 2015. Thank you.
