Special Events
Throughout the school year, Montessori Radmoor invites you to participate in the following events and special functions.  Current dates for all events are listed on our home page.

School Welcome Picnic: We like to start the new school year off by giving our families a chance to meet with staff and other families.  This annual event will be held at the beautiful  Potter Park where the school provides the main dish, everyone brings a side and the children enjoy fun activities. Join us on September 9, 2011 from 5:30-7p.m.

Parent Discussion Groups: Throughout the school year, parents and staff gather together to discuss various aspects of child development and Montessori philosophy. There will be several different meeting times planned with the hope that everyone would be able to join us at one time or another. Check out this year's schedule.

  
 
PGA Events:  Our Parent and Guardian Association host monthly morning coffees in the gym where they discuss various topics.  The PGA also holds various fundraising events, such as an annual coat drive, different shopping fundraisers and our annual community garage sale.  They also hold different night time and weekend family events, such as an ice skating party.
 
Elementary Business: Our upper elementary children are responsible for running the monthly bagel breakfast and various fundraisers to support their elementary business fund.  In the past, they have purchased two composters for the school, and each year they help raise funds for presents for children in foster families with their annual bake sale.   They are an innovative group of youngsters that do a fantastic job in supporting their school and community. 

 

Special Person’s Day: This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to bring someone special to explore our school for the morning.  They are taken on a tour of the school and visit the child’s classroom where they can experience various Montessori materials.  This is an annual favorite of our families. This year's event will be held on Friday, November 18, 2011.

Open Houses:  We like to welcome prospective parents by hosting an open house.  This is a great opportunity to visit the school, meet with our staff and experience the wonderful Montessori materials.  Our 2012 Open Houses are scheduled for January 21st and February 25th from 10:00 a.m. – Noon.                               
Radmoor's Night at the Museum: This is our one big fundraiser of the year, and we go all out to make this a fun and lucrative event!  We sure know how to put the “Fun” in Fundraising, with fantastic food, great music and a wide assortment of items to bid on, from household items, entertainment items, vacations and more!  Join us, with your family, for an evening of fun at the Michigan Historical Museum on March 24. 2012.

International Night: Culture and diversity are the fundamentals of our school and this is a night to celebrate what makes this school so special- our unique blend of families!  On this night, the classrooms are magically transformed into various continents and the gym is turned into an ethnic food court where parents bring a special dish to pass celebrating their heritage. It is scheduled for May 18, 2012.
