SUBJECT: LM Week and Test Prep

Howdy Folks!

Lower Merion (LM) Week is the homecoming of the ages and this year is no different!

  • The daily themes: 

    • Monday 10/27: USA Day

    • Tuesday 10/28: Bikers vs. Surfers

    • Wednesday 10/29: Country vs. Country Club

    • Thursday 10/30: Throwback Thursday

    • Friday 10/31: Rally Day

  • Events: 
    • 10/30 RHS LM Bonfire 6:30 - 7:45 PM
    • 10/31 RHS LM Pep Rally 1:30 - 3:10 PM
    • 11/1 RHS Radnor/Lower Merion Football Game 2 - 5:30 PM; RHS LM Dance 7 - 10 PM

Come by the PTO table as you enter the game! You can say hi and make a donation to our primary initiative - supporting our students, teachers and staff. Your donation is tax deductible. Every donation makes a difference, regardless of the amount.

As part of the longstanding tradition, a victory over Lower Merion on November 1 in our 129th historic rivalry game would result in a half day of school on Monday, November 3. On that day, school would dismiss at 12:05 p.m. Breakfast would be available in the morning; however, lunch would not be served due to the early dismissal schedule.

Order Merch for LM Week!

Order by Wednesday, October 22 to get it in time for LM Week! Shop today! 

We keep adding new items to the RHS PTO Merchandise Store - pajama bottoms, bags, blanket, umbrella and more! Funds support PTO initiatives.


Our PTO November newsletter is going to have a “tech tip of the month”... so hold on because the first one is a good one. We’ll be finding little gems to hopefully make your life easier which is in part our goal here at the PTO.  

Secondly, a tidbit from the “Welcome New Radnor Families Hour” held last month. The question came up: “I heard no one uses lockers. Is this true? What do they do with their stuff?” The discussion culminated in the take-away for students and parents: “Lock it or lose it” in that if a student doesn’t want to risk their items being stolen, they should use a locker and lock up their belongings.  

  • Every student is assigned a locker geographically based on the location of their homeroom.  If a student has declined a locker, they can still get one.  They should ask their homeroom teacher or swing by the front office.

  • Athletic lockers are also provided for athletes to store their equipment. 

  • The PTO sells locks for $10.00 (at cost) should you wish to buy one – contact rhsptomail@gmail.com.

As always, thanks for reading and GO RADNOR!

Kind regards,

Angela Shen, President, RHS PTO
