Rock n Run 2022: A Fundraiser that will ROCK THE SCHOOL!
“Rock N Run” is a Stratford Landing Elementary tradition that replaces traditional fundraising events with a single opportunity to bring the community together, get kids excited for the year, and create a substantial baseline to meet financial needs for school-wide events. We are especially proud of how this event has grown, and how it enables us to support ALL students and families of Stratford Landing.

Every Wednesday: Check your student’s Wednesday Folder for more information and updates each week.
September 30: Rock N Run Campaign begins! Fundraise by sending cash or check to school, or use the convenient donation link online.
October 2: Rock N Run Fall Family Pep Rally! This new Rock N Run Pep Rally combines the PTA’s Back to School Picnic with a weekend family-friendly event at the school.
October 6: In-School Pep Rally! Students and staff will gather in the SLES gym to show their school spirit and build excitement the final week before Rock n Run!
