Richie Gonzalez Award

The Richie Gonzalez Gift of Life Award is a very special award at our school. Richie Gonzalez was a second-grade student at our school who sadly passed away from cancer almost 15 years ago. Richie always acted Christ-like, helping anyone who felt sad. After his death, his parents created the award. To receive the award, teachers nominate a student who shows Christ-like behavior like Richie would. The day the award is presented, the whole school has a special $3 free dress where the students are allowed to dress however they like and wear a hat. The award comes with a special hat honoring Richie and $500 for the personal use of the student. We will always remember Richie.
