SLES Military Support Group - Veterans Day Photo Request

Veterans Day (November 11) is quickly approaching. Even though we are currently learning virtually, we still want to recognize our Stratford Landing Veterans with a photo slideshow. We need your help to make this possible! If someone in your family has served or is currently serving in the military, we would love to include their photo in our slideshow. If your Stratford student is also in the photo, that’s great! Please email the photo(s) to military@slpta.org. You may include name/rank/branch if you would like, but it is not required. All photos need to be submitted by Friday, October 23. Thanks in advance for making this year’s SLES Veterans Day Celebration a success!  

 

Sign up for the SLES Military Support Group

SLES is proud to support our military & government service families. Did you know that a subgroup of the PTA is our Military Support Group? We'd love to connect and keep you informed of local resources and upcoming events such as Veterans Day. Please email us at military@slpta.org to be added to our mailing list.  

 

Room Parents Needed!!

Your PTA is asking for 1-2 parent volunteers to help with each classroom this year. We still need volunteers for many 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes! 

Please sign up here, even if you have already spoken to your teacher: https://forms.gle/DsHVxRkuSUEpQd8a6

Many thanks to those who have already volunteered! Questions?

Please email Loren Wells at slesroomparents@gmail.com

 

SLES PTA Virtual "Take a Moment" Resource   

It can be hard to find ways to take a moment during the virtual day.  SLES PTA has a free resource for you and students to leverage and help take a break with or even start/end the day on a good note with your senses from the virtual day.  Please peruse the resources at the SLES PTA "Take a Moment" or TAM ROOM.  https://slpta.org/tam/   

Perhaps you can share which TAM resource worked or perhaps you can share a different resource to add.
