Stratford Schools Jan/Feb 2017 School Scoop From the Editor’s Corner…. As we all muddle through the frigid, sometimes cloudy days of winter, it is hard to touch base with our inner selves searching for the warm and fuzzy feelings that we all possess. The New Year is a time to reflect on our commitment to ourselves, others and those with whom we come in contact throughout each and every day. Love, kindness and commitment are three concepts that most people choose NOT to discuss with others. That plagues me as I can appreciate how important they are as we go about the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Perhaps the words of singer & song- writer, Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach, sum it up best. “What the world needs now is love sweet love.” Take some precious time in your life to let those you love know how important and valued they are. Need I say more? Stay warm… Share a cup of hot cocoa with the one you love. -Sandy Fusco Samuel S.

“Souper Bowl” luncheon in conjunction with the NFL Super Bowl to kick-off Math-A- Thon, a fundraising event for the children of St. Jude. This year, Parkview held their Math-A-Thon “Souper Bowl” on Tuesday, February 7th. Much like the epic, unbelievable and astounding Super Bowl 51, Parkview’s “Souper Bowl” 2017 featured both returning champions (Mrs. Taylor’s Seafood Chowder, Mrs. J. Stewart’s Chicken Chili, Mr. Edelmayer’s Sausage and Potato Soup) as well as newcomers (Ms. Ro- driguez’s LaEsperanza’s Sopa de Pollo, Mrs. Alexander’s Chicken Orzo Soup and Mrs. Long's Pasta Fagioli). Much like Tom Brady leading the Patriots to their historic come- back win, Parkview teachers came back for many delicious desserts as well. By making a donation of $6 per person to sample the many soups and desserts, our Parkview family was able to make a heartfelt and meaningful donation to the Righter family to help with their expenses. Get ready for Math -A-Thon, which is scheduled to kick off on Monday, March 13th. It is sure to be another epic event! -Special thanks to Mrs. Brown and all Parkview Staff for participating After a fun filled holiday season, our beautiful, festive holiday cards often find themselves trashed or recy- cled. This year, the Mini Bridge Club at Yellin collected old Christmas cards to be donated to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children in Nevada. St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is an organization that helps abused and at-risk children get through tough times. The Mini Bridge Club, led by Yellin’s Mrs. Boyle and Parkview’s Mrs. Alexander, headed up this Christmas card collection. During the months of January and February, they collected old Christmas cards from student and staff at both Yellin and Parkview Schools. Once the Mini Bridge Club had all of the cards, they cut off the fronts and mailed them to St. Jude’s. St. Jude’s will reuse the cards and turn them into new holiday cards to sell and raise money for the ranch. We are happy to report that our two schools collected close to 200 Christmas cards to donate to St. Jude’s! Next holiday season, keep this wonderful opportunity to donate your old Christmas cards in mind instead of putting them in the recycle can! -By Jeremey Clark, Brianna Gilligan, Katelyn Stevenson 4 Night of the Arts Night of The Arts 2017 Warhol’s World Once again, under the leadership of Mrs. Mary McTague, the Stratford School District hosted the fifth annual Night of The Arts. This year’s featured artist was Andy Warhol. Teachers and their students delved into the creative past of the 1960’s artist, Andy Warhol. Fourth and eighth graders researched his personal and professional life, the tumultuous time period, and many other Mrs. Taylor’s Digital Class Project intriguing aspects surrounding this amazing artist’s creations. This year’s display included an increased number of digital projects, demonstrating the talent and ingenuity of our students. The well-known Camp- bell Soup can that Warhol is known for was metic- ulously replicated by Mrs. McTague’s classes. As in previous years, a packed house attended this classy event; parents, friends and guests departed very proudly as they were in awe of the hard work put forth by our students. A huge shout-out is extended to Mrs. McTague for the planning and coordination of this fun-filled evening!
