RLRS PE/Health

Meet Mrs. Richards

Mrs. Richards (Lindsay) is a 2004 graduate of Mount Abram High School and a 2008 graduate from The University  of Maine (Orono) where she received her degree in Early Childhood Education.  

Her degree, experience and passion for health and wellness brought her to Rangeley where she was assigned the role of Fitness Assistant at Rangeley Health and Wellness.  The main goal was to create programming for youth in the community.  In 2009 the After School Program, Children In Action (CIA) for Rangeley students in K-5 was developed and has continued growing and is still in place today. 

After working for Rangeley Health and Wellness for 12 years, most recently as the fitness director she joined the RLRS team to continue her work with the youth in our community. 

What to Expect in Class

Exploring and Engaging in our Community 

The Rangeley community is such a wonderful place.  We all work together to provide the best for our members.  In PE classes you will often see different aspects of our community incorporated into the curriculum, whether it is having guests come to the school or going out into the community to use the fitness center, golfing, hiking, playing tennis and as seen in the picture above, ice curling. 

Adapted PE for all Ages


Every PE class is adapted to fit the needs of all students.  The goal is to get every student active in someway during every class.  Shown in this picture is an easy way to get students who can't quite reach the basketball hoop when shooting a basketball to work on their skills by shooting the ball through a hula hoop.   To create this at home simply tape two hula hoops together and place over the basket. 

Mrs. Richards also brings a huge aspect of nutrition into all of her courses.  Owning a hobby farm with a large garden, horses, chickens, pigs, dogs and more she is able to talk about the benefits of fresh food, raising animals and the care and time that go into it.

Brown Dog Farm is named after her chocolate lab Gunner.

What 's Happening...

Excited for the 2023-2024  school year and all the adventures to come!

Stay tuned for updates.
