Welcome to my page.  I have taught Career and Technical Education at Schimelpfenig Middle School for 20 years, prior to that I was the receptionist/attendance clerk.  My sons attended Schimelpfenig and I was an active member of one of the best PTAs in Plano.

I look forward to my day with your children every single day.  They are my neighbors and I care a great deal about their present and their future. 

I am leaving teaching this year.  It is time to step back and hand my students, my lessons to a new teacher.  I am excited to say, Mr. Mutke, has agreed to teach your children next year.  The students love him, he is full of energy and we could not have found a better match.  He is already planning for next year and that says alot after a year like ours here at Schimelpfenig Middle School.

We were a team, you, me, and your child.  If I had to do it over again, I would.

My best to our community of learners and their adult type people.  I will miss my students.

As always,

Mrs. Richards

See you 'round the neighborhood.
