Welcome back! I hope everyone had a lovely spring break. Spring is in full bloom and Stratford is planning many more events to close out our school year.
It was wonderful seeing everyone at the joint PTA elementary meeting before the break. I hope you enjoyed all the information from our GC librarians. The summer program is sure to be another great one this year. Please feel free to contact any of the librarians if you have any further questions.
On April 6, the PTA held its districtwide Reflections Award ceremony. This year’s theme was I Will Change the World By. Student artists were celebrated for their creative talents in the fields of dance, literature, music, photography and the visual arts. The ceremony included live performances as well as award presentations for students and their families. Congratulations to everyone!
On April 9, the Garden City Teachers Association held their annual GC for a cure fun run and 5k. Runners and walkers were able to enjoy the spring weather while raising money for a great cause.
On Thursday, April 14, the PTA sponsored a family fun bowling event prior to the Spring Break. Students had fun knocking down pins and playing with their friends. The event was a great success and a fun kickoff for the holiday.
April was a busy month and May promises even more great events including spring concerts, staff appreciation and many more PTA sponsored events. As always be on the lookout via backpack fliers, emails and social media.
The Stratford Staff Appreciation Lunch will be held on May 19. Preparations are underway to celebrate and thank our staff and teachers for all that they do. Please be on the lookout for further information and a sign-up genius.
