As the 2020/2021 school year comes to a close, the Stratton PTO would like to take a moment to express our thanks for an amazing year under extraordinary circumstances. The Stratton community's commitment to keeping our students, families, and faculty safe and engaged in their learning has been nothing short of outstanding.
We want to say thank you to our PTO board members who will be leaving us. The commitment by Christina, Andrea, Amy, Andrea and Brenda in making our student's Stratton experience the best it can be (no matter what!) while also equally supporting our Stratton faculty in their needs to provide the best learning experience for our students is so very important and appreciated. We will miss you all!
We also want to thank the parents and caregivers who helped to support the Stratton PTO this year. Without you, we would not have been able to provide successful events and programming that our Stratton community enjoyed. We really appreciate each and every one of you and look forward to continuing our partnership in the fall when we return to campus.
Sincerely,
Kim Van Winkle & Jen Wight

HELP CARE FOR OUR RAISED BEDS
 We're looking for families to sign up for a week to help water the gardens. During your week, a water key will be passed along to you be able to turn the water on/off at a nearby spigot. Depending on weather, each family will likely come out to water the gardens anywhere between 4-6 times during the week. It's pretty quick, maybe 10 minutes of watering. Families are welcome to harvest during their week, although likely not until mid-June for many things, but a few clips of herbs and lettuces will be available sooner.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0E4AAFA923A1FD0-watering1
Please visit https://jeffsugarman.wixsite.com/website/our-garden for weekly updates on how the gardens are doing, what's growing, how the plants are tasting, and more! Thanks to Jeff Sugarman for creating the Stratton Green Team garden website.
