Need an excuse to go out to eat? The perfect reason is to help Stratford Landing Elementary School. Through the 2026–27 school year we’re running Dine Out for SLES and Dine Out for SLES and the 6th Grade — restaurant nights where a share of the proceeds comes back to our school.
How it works: in odd-numbered months the proceeds go to the PTA. In even-numbered months they go to the 6th grade, helping them raise money for the graduation activities planned for their final year at Stratford Landing.
Just show up, order, and use the code or show the flyer. Questions or a restaurant to suggest? Email vicepresident@slpta.org.
