New Strandwood PTA Website!

 

Did you know that Strandwood has a PTA website that is separate from the school website?

StrandwoodPTA.org, formerly strandwood.org, houses PTA-related information regarding the current board, PTA programs and sponsored events. Interested in finding out about this year's Nutcracker performance or the Dinner Dance Auction? Check the site!

Need a new Read and Dream log? Want to register for a PTA-sponsored after school program? Downloadable forms and flyers are just a click away!

You can even view PTA balance sheets, read meeting minutes, check the calendar and find archived editions of the Roadrunner. All of this and more can be found at www.strandwoodpta.org
First School Spirit Day is Wednesday!
Our first spirit day this year will be Wednesday, October 1st -- Sports Day! Have your child wear clothes to represent a favorite sport team or a sport that he/she plays! Show your school spirit!

 

Meeting TODAY for 4th Grade Parents!
There will be a meeting today, September 30th, to discuss the fundraising efforts for the Outdoor Education trip that our 4th grade students will take in the Fall of 2015. 

 

Fundraising is imperative in order to bring down the cost per student for this trip. We are asking that at least one parent per student attend this meeting as we do need as much parent assistance as possible in order to raise funds.

 

Where:  Strandwood Multi-Use Room
When:  Tuesday, September 30th
Time:  7pm - 8pm
