Community Building
Community Building
The community building committee sponsors fun events over the course of the school year where parents and students can get to know other parents and students in a fun social environment, fostering a feeling of friendship within our school community. Here are some ideas that have been successful in the past; depending on current interest or volunteer help, these activities may or may not be scheduled each year.
Community Building Events
Family Night Out: This is an opportunity to enjoy an outing with your family and friends from Radio Park that also benefits the PTO. Often we visit a local restaurant that contributes funds to our PTO.
New Student Orientation: This is an event for families new to Radio Park. They are introduced to the school prior to starting at Radio Park.
Kindergarten Ice Cream Social: A social event specifically geared to incoming Kindergartners and their families to make them feel comfortable with Radio Park and help them to make new friends before the first day of school.
Roller Skating Party: A fall event held at Penn Skates. A fun event where Radio Park families can roller skate and meet other families.
