ROCK CONNECTION

September 12, 2025

Dear Strasburg Elementary Tribe,

I am so proud of how our students are stepping up and showing excellence. Big congratulations to our August House winners from 1st through 5th grade! Our kindergarteners just found out what House they are in last week, and they will be celebrated along with next month’s winners. As we head into the fall, I am excited about the opportunities ahead. Our fundraiser is underway, and events like Picture Day, Field Day, and volunteer involvement will help make this a truly memorable year. Remember, we’re stronger when we work together, teachers, staff, students, and families, because at SES we are One Tribe.

Here’s to learning, growing, and celebrating together!
