It's hard to believe December is upon us! This is always such an exciting time of year at Stratford School. There is a festive atmosphere and the hallways are alive with the children’s holiday spirit!
As 2024 comes to an end I want to stop and thank the staff of Stratford and GC School District for the dedication and hard work that is put into each and every single day. The families of our community deserve a thanks as well. All of the amazing PTA events of 2024 could not have been possible without them.
November was a great time to be a Stratford student. The second graders performed their annual Thanksgiving concert. This talented group of children shared songs and performances including the famous “Turkey Tango”. Families were delighted and some were even caught singing the Turkey Tango on Thanksgiving!
The Stratford Family Fun Committee hosted a Holiday Bingo Night. The event was held on December 6 and was a huge hit! The children were so excited to see their teachers and Mrs. Quezada call the bingo numbers and everyone had their eyes on the prizes. Thank you to our amazing Family Fun Committee and extra thank you to Alaina Baebler, for always going the extra mile to make the events as special as possible!
The Beautification Committee will be decorating for the holiday season. A Sign Up Genius link was sent out by the class parents. We would like to thank everyone for their generosity with these donations. We save everything possible from year to year. But we always need to add more and replace some pieces. Thank you for making this possible!
We are updating our Inclement Weather Recess Bins. An Amazon List was sent out for those interested in donating. The children truly love the fun that these bins provide on days they can not play outside,
On behalf of the entire GCPTA I would like to wish all of you a very happy holiday season filled with those you love most. Cherish the sweet and simple moments with your children.
Have a happy and healthy 2025!
Warmly,
Danielle Livingston
Stratford PTA Director
