Dear Riccardi Families and Friends:

First, I would like to thank Coach Below and Coach Buonfiglio for another pair of amazing, fun-filled Field Days for Riccardi students. I know that both students and staff look forward to Field Day all year, and I am grateful for the enthusiasm and hard work that both coaches did to make the day exciting and memorable for all. I also want to thank all of our volunteers and staff members for your help for this event. We couldn’t do it without you!  Congratulations to Mrs. Fisher’s class…the winners of this year’s Field Day Survivor Island!

It has been a great year at Riccardi Elementary School. I am so grateful to work with such wonderful students, staff and families. Thank you all for a making this year a successful one.  I am truly fortunate to be part of the Riccardi family.  

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank some specific groups that contributed to another great and memorable school year! Thank you to:

Our Riccardi PTA for the time and effort you have put forth in bringing exciting opportunities to our students.  With your hard work, our students experienced enriching activities throughout the entire school year.

Our PTA Officers for your time and dedication to our school: Justine Snihur & Johannah Hilferty (Co-Presidents), Jamie Monroe (Treasurer) and Michelle Lindo (Secretary). Thank you for your leadership and unwavering service to our school!

Our Student Government for their outstanding accomplishments this year planning and facilitating many school-wide activities and recognitions such as the Veterans’ Day Event, Bus Driver Appreciation Breakfast, Pop-top collection, Cards for soldiers, Pen Pal initiative and several School Spirit Days. I am so proud of this group of students for the effort they have invested throughout the year. Thank you to our Officers: Addyson Taylor (President), Goddess Grannell (Vice President), Madeline Pettit (Treasurer), Alice Fitzgerald (Secretary), and Matthew Erceg and Emma Granwehr (co-Social Directors). Also, a big thank you to Mrs. Pettit and for her continued guidance and devotion advising this important group of students.
