HMS Richards Adventist Elementary

Huge thank you to our amazing parent chaperones in Washington, DC! 🇺🇸

From walking miles, navigating museums, and tackling long security lines to helping make sandwiches and, most importantly, keeping our kids safe—you helped make this trip smooth, fun, and unforgettable.

We are so grateful for your time, care, and dedication!

One of the most special things in life is experiencing moments that truly shape us—times that stretch thinking and grow hearts. This week our 7th and 8th grade class is in Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital, seeing firsthand how our government is run and how decisions impact not just individuals, but an entire nation.

Throughout this experience, there has also been a clear reminder that freedom comes at a cost. Standing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there is a powerful realization—God knows the “unknowns”, he knows their name and the number of hairs on their head. He knows each of us. He loves us as if we are the only one on this earth.

This points to an even greater truth about God. He doesn’t just know us—He cares deeply for us and loves us extravagantly. God offers a freedom that is freely given, but it came at the highest cost—His death on the cross, given out of grace and love.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” — Psalm 33:12

Grateful for the growth, the perspective, and the learning. If you’ve never taken the time, talk to Jesus—He’s not distant. He’s near, and He wants a relationship with you.

This week our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students had the opportunity to visit the Enduring Word Bible Museum—and what a meaningful experience it was!

Students explored the history of the Bible through authentic artifacts, interactive exhibits, and even saw a working Gutenberg Press replica. It was a hands-on way to bring history and faith to life in a memorable way.

The museum is open to kids and adults through April 19 at Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church Campion Church Community Center in Loveland, with presentations offered throughout the day.

If you’re looking for a unique and enriching experience, we encourage you to check it out!

AmeriTown Interviews Today!

Our 5th and 6th grade students stepped into the real world today as they participated in their AmeriTown job interviews. Dressed professionally and well prepared, they practiced the important skill of interviewing for a job.

We are proud of the effort they put into preparing, presenting themselves confidently, and learning valuable life skills along the way. What a great experience as they get ready for their upcoming AmeriTown adventure! 👔✨ ❤️
