Dear Incoming and Transitioning Parents/Guardians:
We would like to extend a heartfelt back to school welcome to all our parents, children, and new additions to the Elijah Stroud Middle School family. We would also like to thank the transitioning body of our school – you’ve made it to the next grade and we look forward to you continuing this educational journey with us. At Middle School 353, we proudly stand by our motto – “Expanding Mindsets Beyond Community Borders”, as we ignite dreams and provide guidance to our youth in the twenty-first century.
We know and understand that preparing for the upcoming school year sometimes lends unexpected “back to school” surprises, and so, hopefully this supply list will help you capture all the summer sales!
Thank you again for choosing MS 353 and have a truly adventurous and successful school year.
