PTO BUSINESS

Introducing our new PTO President

Hello everyone! My name is Bonnie Mackey, and I am thrilled to be this year’s RMS PTO President, and mom to 6th graders, Kiki and Rory. We have several events and special middle school experiences planned for this school year to ensure that our students, teachers, and administrators receive the full support they need to have a successful year.

In order to curate a positive and supportive environment, we need your help! Please join the PTO and/or volunteer for one of our many fabulous events! We appreciate each and everyone of you and the ways you celebrate RMS!

Donate to the RMS Family Sponsorship Campaign

RMS PTO supports educational and social enrichment of our middle school students, staff, and families. The in-school and community wide programming, curricular support, and social enrichment opportunities we provide are possible only thru the support of our RMS families. We don't sell door-to-door. We believe the community values the enrichment provided and hope you will contribute what you can to continue supporting the RMS community in our traditional and new innovative programs.

The RMS PTO is committed to 100% of Family Sponsorship Campaign funds staying at RMS for our own students & staff programming and support.

With your help, Radnor Middle School Parent Teacher Organization can reach our 2024-2025 goal and continue the work we’ve set out to do in this campaign.

Join us on Thursday, September 19th from 6 to 8:00 p.m. to meet teachers and learn about our school, culture, and the holistic opportunities provided to your child. Parents will "walk in their child's shoes".

The evening will start with a "Meet the Administrators and School Counselors" session in the auditorium, where general information about our school will be shared.

Order Vic and Deans to Support the PTO!

Make Back-to-School night easy on yourself and order from Vic and Dean's in Wayne!

On Thursday, September 19, Vic and Dean's will generously donate a percentage of all it's sales from the day to the RMS PTO when you mention RMS PTO.

Go for lunch and plan ahead to take dinner home with you. Or order dinner (& maybe an afterschool snack, too) and swing by after grabbing your kid at school dismissal. Kid gets THE BEST after school snack and dinner is already taken care of, too. (Dine In, Pick Up or Delivery)

6th Grade WEB Social

Our 6th Grade WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Social is planned for Thursday, September 5th from 2:00 - 4:00. At this event our new 6th graders meet with their WEB Group and their 8th grade WEB leaders to talk over the first couple days of school and get to know one another a little more. After a group building session, the students stay and have some fun hanging out and playing on the RMS Fields. And have snacks. There are always snacks! BUT we need some help!

***6th grade parents - NOTE THERE IS NO AFTERNOON BUS SERVICE FOR 6th Graders who stay for the social***
