I would like to thank California State Assembly member from District 61, Tina McKinnor for bestowing the Certificate of Recognition to our school for this accomplishment. I personally want to thank all of my Facebook family for your support, this accomplishment could not have occurred without the support you give to me and our school this past year, THANK YOU.

Hello All,

I want to say a sincere "Thank you" to everyone for your support as we begin our second academic school year at Dolores T. Richardson School. Our mission is to create an academic environment where children thrive and become educated.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s tremendous quote on education is still relevant today: “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education.”

One of our goals to provide ‘true education’ is to create an area where children can sit comfortably and read in their classrooms. To that end, each class will have a library nook where students can sit and read. Therefore, I am asking my Facebook family to support our efforts by purchasing a bean bag seat for our reading nooks. Each bean bag costs $85.00 and we need 28 bean bags for seven classes. Your purchase of one or more bean bags is a tax deductible donation.

Thank you for aiding me and supporting our school as we make a difference in the academic and social lives of our students.

Sincerely,
Derek

"Over the weekend 1st and 2nd grade teachers alongside our owner received personal training in Orton Gillingham multisensory led by Jane Elliot. During this time our instructors were able to specifically focus on the phonics technique for remedial reading, including signs of dyslexia and the different ways children learn. Jane Elliot is an American diversity educator. As a schoolteacher, she became known for her "Blue eyes/Brown eyes" exercise, which she first conducted with her third-grade class on April 5, 1968, the day after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr."
