Please join us for an evening of food and fellowship with your fellow Strafford alumni.

Don’t forget to bring some cash for a chance of winning the beautiful flower basket.

 

The Strafford Alumni Association continues to seek donations for our student scholarship fund. The Alumni Association awards two separate $1,000 scholarships annually. Last year’s winners were Ethan Hurtgen, attending Southwest Baptist University, and Jackson Jacobson, attending The University of Missouri. Donations are greatly appreciated and all donors will be acknowledged, unless you wish to remain anonymous. Please indicate below if your donation is made in memory or in honor of someone.
