Radio Park PTO Newsletter

πŸƒ What an Incredible Fun Run Day !! πŸƒ

A huge congratulations to all of our amazing Radio Park runners! The energy out on the track today was off the charts, and our students brought their absolute best effort, high-fives, and big smiles to every single lap!

We also want to send a GIANT THANK YOU to our entire school community for making today such a success!

πŸ“£ To Our Spectators: Thank you to all the parents, guardians, family members, and friends who came out to cheer, wave signs, and make every grade feel like rockstars!

🀝 To Our Outstanding Volunteers: We couldn't have pulled this off without you! Thank you to everyone who helped direct traffic in the parking lot, track laps and hand out rubber bands, and provide refreshing popsicles at the finish line!

πŸ¦–πŸ” To Our Mascot Heroes: An extra-special shoutout to the brave volunteers who suited up in our inflatable dinosaur, chicken, star, and tube man costumes. You made some truly unforgettable memories for our kids today!

Fundraising Update πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ πŸ’΅

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are currently at 90% of our $30,000 goal! πŸŽ‰. If every student raises an average of $73 in donations, we will reach our goal! Every contribution directly funds classroom supplies, school-wide events, and PTO programs for our kids.

As we head into the long weekend, remember that it’s not too late to donate! Our whole school is SO close to earning $5 in Scholastic Dollars for EVERY student and a giant Field Day Bounce House for the whole school! πŸ°πŸ“š

If you haven't had a chance to donate yetβ€”or if you'd like to share your student's fundraising link one last time with family over the long weekendβ€”you can still help us cross that 100% finish line!
