  • Mr. Richards was very well received by our students. He kept the audience engaged with his magic and high energy. The students laughed and wanted to be selected to assist with the show. I love the way he defined terms in everyday language to ensure that our students understood the true meaning of the words, respectful, responsible, caring, and being a good citizen.
