The Experience
Join Iron Village Preparatory Academy for an afternoon of hands-on creativity, music, cold refreshments, and community connection at Park365! Whether you’re bringing a rising Kindergartner or an upcoming middle schooler, there’s a canvas waiting for your family.
Featured Activity: Upcycled Art Remixing (All Ages & Parents!): We're turning sustainability into street art! Choose from a fresh stack of thrifted Goodwill canvases and "remix" them using Posca paint pens, liquid chalk markers, and stencils. Explore 4 creative prompts anchored in our core pillars—Academic Empowerment, Cultural Celebration, Community Engagement, and Richmond as Our Campus.
K–3rd Grade: Color-Block Branding & Wall Build: Young creators can base-coat and decorate structural bricks with vibrant colors and stickers, then lead an architectural "wall build" with their peers.
4th–8th Grade: Street-Art Design & Lawn Games: Older students can dive deep into street-art typography and canvas remixing, then challenge friends and family to Spikeball and Cornhole around the pavilion perimeter.
Good Tunes, Cold Drinks, & Great Connections
We’ll have music playing and cold refreshments on ice under the shaded pavilion. It’s a low-pressure way to meet our team, connect with local families, and experience the Iron Village vibe firsthand as we gear up for our August 24 launch date.
