Strawn ISD is phasing out its water fountains for these sleek filling stations! At the start of school, we were buying bottled water for all our students. These filling stations will help keep our students and staff hydrated and cut down on the plastic water bottle waste! If you have a refillable water bottle or insulated cup at home, please send it with your child!

SENIOR NIGHT!
Because students do not have class on Friday, the HS Pep Rally has been moved to Thursday, October 1st, at 3:10 PM, on the playground. We will be honoring our Seniors involved in fall sports. Please wear a mask and social distance.
We will also honor our Seniors on Friday, October 2nd, at 7:00 PM before the game, which is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM.
Tomorrow is Picture Day! Please make checks payable to Strawn ISD.
Virtual Learners: We'll see you in the gym between 7:45 and 8:15! Please remember to wear your mask until it's your turn to be photographed!
On-Campus Students (PreK-11) and Staff: You will be photographed in the gym from 8:15 to 11:45. Our goal is to have all of you finished before your scheduled lunch! Please remember to wear your mask until it's your turn to be photographed!
Seniors: We will begin photographing you after lunch, 12:30. We will start with those in volleyball as they are leaving early. You will take your normal portrait in the clothes you are wearing, then take photos in the cap & gown. Please bring a nice shirt to wear under the gown. Your collar may be visible, so white would be an excellent option. Please remember to wear your mask until it's your turn to be photographed!
Sports photos will be in October. Class groups are scheduled for the Spring. If you have any other questions or are needing a refund issued from Lifetouch, please contact Mrs. Ellis! (254) 672-5776

Check out these early birds!
Strawn FFA has incubated and hatched quail!
First Grade is learning about three states of matter - in the most delicious way! What do you get when you mix a solid (ice cream), a liquid (root beer), and a gas (fizz)? ROOT BEER FLOATS!
