Dear Riccardi Families:

First, I would like to thank our Field Day committee, Ms. Arcadipane, Ms. Frahm, Mrs. Shanley, and Ms. Hewitt for putting on another fun-filled Field Day for current and future Riccardi students. This is a day that both students and staff look forward to all year and I am grateful for the enthusiasm and hard work that the committee put into making the day exciting and memorable for all. Thank you also to all of our PTA volunteers for your help as chaperones for this event. We couldn’t do it without you!

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