Stratford February Newsletter
It has been a cold but fun January at Stratford School! Although our children have been stuck inside due to the snow and freezing temperatures, recess has still been full of play! They are enjoying Chess at Recess with parent volunteers, so thank you for volunteering your time! If you'd like to sign-up for chess, please refer to the ParentSquare post with the sign-up link. In addition, thanks to our wonderful Health & Safety Committee, each classroom is enjoying fully-stocked indoor recess bins.
We had an informative PTA Meeting on Wednesday, January 21st over Zoom. It was a joint meeting with Stewart Elementary School. We heard updates from our PARP, Reflections, and Digital Citizenship Committees. Thank you to all who joined!
This month, the 5th graders will be taking a field trip to Argyle Theater to see Disney Descendants. This field trip is sponsored by the PTA. We hope they have a great time!
The PTA has organized an awesome family fun event coming in March. The Stratford 5th graders will be performing in the UBS arena lobby at an Islanders Game on March 28th! All 5th grade parents who would like to purchase tickets to the game should buy them soon, as tickets are limited. Please refer to the ParentSquare post from Mr. Hartigan or reach out to me if you have any questions or need assistance.
We want to extend a warm welcome to our new SEPTA director at Stratford, Michael Krumholz! Mike has made himself available to our entire Stratford community so if you have any questions about SEPTA or your own child's education, please email him at ohalui@gmail.com.
