Sometime in September, the students began to prepare. They wrote songs, poems, letters, and more to honor the officers. A student lead team planned the event, created the invitation and followed through to make sure everything was in place. A fifth grade Girl Scout troop even made special cookies to give to the officers.
The Stratford Band and Cheerleaders joined in the celebration and an RCE Boy Scout troop presented the flags. Students shared their songs through video, the choir sang, the Rockin' Roadrunners performed and one student shared both music and writing. It was a great celebration.
After the hour long Spirit Rally, the officers were treated to a reception sponsored by Chic-fil-a and Starbucks. It was a great day for all.
