At the Monday, December 08, 2025, Board of Education meeting, 13 talented students were recognized for their outstanding artwork that will be featured on this year’s district holiday cards!
Keep an eye on your mailbox—you’ll see these beautiful student designs arriving soon and spreading holiday cheer across our community.
Congratulations to our young artists!
Here is the holiday card message from Superintendent Brian Walmsley:
A Message of Hope and Togetherness.
As the holiday season draws near, I am reminded of how truly fortunate we are to live and learn in a community like Richmond—one defined by kindness, generosity, and the simple yet powerful spirit of looking out for one another. The holidays give us a moment to pause, to reconnect with loved ones, and to reflect on all that we’ve built together through care, courage, and compassion.
In Richmond, we are more than a school district—we are a family. Each day, I see hope in our students’ laughter, perseverance in our staff’s dedication, and love in the way our families and community come together to lift one another up. It is this unity—this sense of belonging—that continues to make Richmond such a special place to call home.
As we turn the page toward a new year, may we carry forward the spirit of optimism that defines us. There is so much to look forward to—new goals, new opportunities, and the continued promise of brighter days ahead. When we stand together, believe in one another, and care deeply for our neighbors, there is nothing our community cannot achieve.
To our teachers and staff: thank you for your unwavering heart and commitment. To our students: thank you for inspiring us with your energy, creativity, and dreams. To our families and community: thank you for your partnership and belief in what we can accomplish together.
This holiday season, may your homes be filled with warmth, laughter, and the comfort of those you love most. And may the new year bring renewed hope, continued growth, and the joy that comes from being part of a community that truly feels like family.
With heartfelt gratitude and best wishes.

Dear Richmond Community Schools Families and Residents,
Please join us at the Community Conversations with the Superintendent sessions on Monday, April 21st at Will L. Lee Elementary School (Enter through Door #1) in the Media Center at 6:30 p.m.
As shared in the January edition of the Communicator newsletter, the Board of Education approved a resolution this past December to consider a no-increase millage proposal aimed at funding essential expansions at all three buildings, with Richmond Middle School and Richmond High School receiving significant expansions. This initiative is designed to accommodate our growing student population and enhance our facilities to ensure we continue meeting the educational needs of our community effectively. By investing in these expansions, we continue to provide modern, adaptable spaces for learning for our students and staff, while also providing addition after-hours spaces for our community to utilize.
To further engage our community and gather your valuable input, I invite you to attend one of our upcoming Community Conversations with the Superintendent where I will present insights into student enrollment trends, facility utilization and needs assessments, and proposed building expansions.
These discussions will also allow us to hear your valuable feedback, and what you would like to see added to the scope of the project, all of which will be shared with the Board of Education as they consider approving a resolution for a bond proposal in May, for a vote on November 4, 2025.
As we work together to support the future of Richmond Community Schools, I encourage you to take part in these important discussions. Your engagement is essential in shaping a plan that best serves our students, staff, and the entire community.
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our schools. I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming sessions.
Sincerely,
Brian J. Walmsley, Ed.S.
