Mr. Richard's 3rd Grade Class

Supply List
Field Study Payment
I’d like to offer the warmest of welcomes to 3rd Grade! I’m Mr. Richard and I cannot wait to get started here at NCSA. I’m so excited to be a part of your child’s learning journey this year. I believe that each student brings something unique and special to our classroom community and will be working extremely hard to make sure we showcase this together. 
 
When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll likely find me on the soccer field – coaching my daughter, playing on occasion (when my legs can move appropriately), or watching my beloved Liverpool FC. – I might also be checking off jobs on my honey-do list 🙂
 
My goal this year is for all of my 3rd graders to have a space where they feel valued, supported and challenged to reach their full potential. I can’t wait to see their growth during the 25-26 school year!
