Radnor Elementary School welcomed circus artists from the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts for a week-long residency from Oct. 14-18. Fourth-graders concluded the week with a performance for parents, students and staff members on Friday.
The skills learned align with many of the National and State Standards in Physical Education, such as eye-hand coordination; balance; concentration; confidence; self-image; reaction time; spatial awareness; achievement due to persistence; practice; perseverance; development of physical fitness; and stress relief.
Circus Week is coordinated by Physical Education, Health and Wellness teachers Doug Nowak and Gylene Snyder and sponsored by the school's parent-teacher organization and the Radnor Educational Foundation.
