Have a Picnic Dinner at Open House 

 

Wouldn't you like to attend Open House without feeling stressed about getting the family fed first?  This year you and your family can enjoy a wonderful picnic with hot dogs, chips and a drink for only $2  - what a crazy deal!! Money raised goes toward Outdoor Education! You can also buy a hot dog from our a la carte menu for only $1 if you prefer.

 

Open House is on Wednesday, May 29th, from 6:30pm-8pm, and the Hot Dog Hut will be open the entire time in front of the MUR! 

 

Thank you to Grocery Outlet in Pleasant Hill for donating the food, and thank you for supporting Outdoor Education!!

Congratulations "Girls on the Run" Team!

Congratulations to Strandwood's awesome "Girls on the Run" (GOTR) team for completing the school's first season of GOTR and for doing a great job in the end of the season 5k run! We are very proud of all of the girls.

 

A big "thank you" to our fabulous GOTR coaches for volunteering your time, energy and making Strandwood's first GOTR season a huge success. We also appreciate all of the "running buddies" and other volunteers who helped out with the 5k run. GOTR

 

We look forward to having this great after-school program continue at Strandwood for years to come. Information regarding the upcoming Fall program will be coming out soon! Congratulations and thank you again to all who participated. This program, in addition to many other great Strandwood programs, are not possible without parent support and volunteers.
