Richards salutes Dr. Jacobson

Parade a chance to say thanks for walking 24 hours to raise $$ for scholarships!

Yesterday Richards High School students and staff gathered in the main hallway for the last five minutes of the school day to salute Principal Dr. Mike Jacobson, who walked 24 straight hours on New Year's Day to raise money for college scholarships.

Drumline, Goldies (varsity dance team), and the Richards wrestlers who walked that day accompanied him.

Tonight the District 218 Board of Education will honor Dr. Jacobson for his incredible efforts on behalf of our students.
