Stratton TRIBUTE SPACE Project
· The new Stratton Elementary School will house a Tribute Space (room) to honor the legacy of Stratton High School (along with Stratton Junior High School and Stratton Elementary School).
· Raleigh County Schools is seeking memorabilia to house in the Tribute Space. Memorabilia may be donated or loaned to the school system. The school system intends to identify the person who donated each item that is housed in the Tribute Space (using an engraved recognition plate).
· Ideas for memorabilia include school newspapers, yearbooks, uniforms, shirts, lettermen jackets, pictures, and individual awards and/or recognitions. (These are just ideas…please do not feel limited by this list.)
For additional information, please contact Dr. Serena Starcher, Assistant Superintendent, by email (slstarch@k12.wv.us) or by telephone (304.256.4500, ext. 3334).
Stratton Elementary School MURAL Project
· Alumni of Stratton are invited to paint a 4 in x 4 in tile to be placed in a mural which will be located in the new school’s cafeteria.
· Tiles are available on a First Come, First Paint basis. People are encouraged to come early to paint.
· All tiles will have a background color that is a variation of yellow, green or blue.
· Painters are encouraged to think about what they will paint in advance…perhaps a memory of Stratton or a depiction of what Stratton means to you! Others may choose to paint a simple figure like a basketball, smiley face, or a sun. All tiles will be reviewed to ensure the painted pictures are appropriate to be featured in a school.
· DATE: December 4, 2022
· TIME: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
· LOCATION: Stratton Elementary School Gymnasium
For additional information, please contact Dr. Serena Starcher, Assistant Superintendent, by email (slstarch@k12.wv.us) or by telephone (304.256.4500, ext. 3334).
