FCCLA has decided to "Trick or Treat" the Rich Hill community on the evening of OCT 13 from 5-6p. Members will be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the food pantry at the Methodist Church in town. Please remember to leave your light on if you would like them to stop by your home on October 13th! You can email tcox@richhill.k12.mo.us to ensure someone stops by if you would like.
School Menu: Due to supply chain issues we have not been receiving all of the products we've ordered. Menus will be subject to change daily as our supplier substitutes other products for those we've ordered. Commodity foods that make up a large part of what we cook may be on back order until October of 2022 at this point in time. Thank you for your patience as we do our best to feed kids two hot meals a day!

Rich Hill is still holding classes for today. Water will be out through tonight for the entire town. Students are using the restrooms although toilets will not flush. The kitchen had already prepared lunch and we are using paper products. Hand cleansing wipes are provided prior to the student taking their lunch. Crews are estimating the water will be back on by morning. Please ensure your student brings a filled water bottle to school tomorrow since the city will probably issue a boil order.
Reminder: Junior Class prom fundraiser is going on now. September 10 is the last day for orders. Get your orders in soon.
Come on out tonight and meet the fall players at the football field at 7pm. Boosters will be auctioning off parking spots along the track.
Tomorrow night’s varsity football jamboree has been moved to Clinton due to a problem with Appleton City’s field. The jamboree starts at 6:30pm.
And last, but not least, the first day of school is Monday! The doors open at 7:35 for students with classes beginning at 8am and dismissal at 3:05pm. Elementary dismissal procedures are the same as last year. We are beginning the year in Phase Yellow. Our return to school plan is posted on our website.
We need your help regarding Federal ESSERIII Funds. Please respond to this survey by next Wednesday. The district has already used many mitigation strategies, but this large chunk of money can help us address facility needs and learning loss. Please give us feedback to use as we propose a budget to DESE for these funds.

Dear Tigers, today the district saw an interruption in its natural gas service. We do not believer this affected any district activities. The district transitioned to a statewide energy consortium for its natural gas to get a reduced rate. While this saved us thousands of dollars this year, the switch from billing through Liberty to Symmetry, combined with a 2 month delay from the Texas energy crisis, created an internal billing problem at Liberty that resulted in a disconnect order for the district. Even though my office caught this months ago and asked for it to be corrected several times before July, the order still went through. The consortium is offered through the Missouri School Board Association and they intervened on our behalf today. We believe the situation is resolved at this point. Kids may not be here, but school can still be an exciting place during the summer! And it case you didn't see Dr. Gilbert's announcement, it was an honor to be present when Dawn Breckenridge received her Regional Teacher of the Year Award today. Congratulations Mrs. Breckenridge!
A huge congratulations to Mrs. Dawn Breckenridge for being named a finalists from the central region for Teacher of the Year. The finalists from each region will move on to the state level.
Due to the excessive humidity, all 3 gym floors have not cured yet. Activities for this week are postponed. We will check the floors on Monday morning to see if we can have activities the week of July 19th. Thank you for your understanding.
