Fun Run Goals By Grade

Hopefully last week's Special Edition Newsletter provided a lot of great information on the Fun Run, our goal, and sponsorship opportunities. Big thanks to those who have donated so far! Kindergarten is leading all the other grades and hopefully you’re hearing from your student if they won a popsicle party last week! There are still 3 weeks to win before the run!

Starting next week we’ll be more focused on working towards our classroom goals. The goal for most grades is $8,000. Winners last week were based on sheer volume, so it’s working together as a community with both large and smaller donations that’s truly making a difference. We just ask that you do what you can and know that we appreciate ALL of you!

If you have any questions about the campaign or the Fun Run itself, we’ll be at the PTO in the Park event on the 15th, so look for us and we’re happy to answer whatever questions you have!

PTO in the Park

Please plan to join us at our annual PTO in the Park THIS Thursday, September 15 from 6-7 p.m. Bring a picnic and your family to Richland Park for a casual hang out. This is a great way to meet other parents, students and friends in our community!

First Paideia Seminar

Between September 6-16th, students will participate in our first school-wide seminar. For this seminar, we are reading the story The Me I Choose to Be by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley and discussing the ideas and values of identity, empowerment, and self-worth. Ask your child about this exciting and engaging learning experience!

So Long, Summer! Bash at Richland Park

Join our neighborhood friends on Sunday, September 25 from 1-4pm for food, fun, and a supply drive to benefit Sylvan Park and Park Avenue schools!

Thank You For Your Help!
