WRIGHT ISSUES MESSAGE FOR START OF SCHOOL YEAR

(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Community School Superintendent Dr. Curtis Wright released a video message to students and parents on social media Sunday night.  Wright talked about some goals for the new school year, placing this high on the list.  "We're encouraging our faculty, staff, and students to embrace the mindset of being happy," Wright said.  The district hopes to build on the momentum of improved test scores on the recently released IREAD exams.  "Let's remember that education is not just about preparing for tests or getting good grades.  It's about preparing for life," Wright added.  The RCS Board will be recognizing those improvements when it meets on Wednesday night.
