MUM Workshop
Mums are the Booster Club’s #1 fundraiser 💰, and we welcome many helping hands! The great news is that the Mum Workshop is larger and closer to SHS this year, making it easier than ever to stop by and get involved. No prior experience or special skills needed — we’ll train you! There’s truly a role for everyone, and it’s a fun, welcoming way to get involved, meet other parents, and support our students!
If you’d like to sign-up for Remind alerts about Mum Workshop hours and activities, please sign-up at https://groupme.com/join_group/116400818/x5oKCW3d

Thank you to our 2025-2026 Platinum Community Sponsors!
“How can I help support our kids?”
From lending your time, making a donation, or even supporting while you grocery shop, every cent goes into keeping the band program alive for our students!
-
The majority of the funds that support our band activities and scholarships come from the fundraisers we host throughout the year. Our most notable is our sale of Stratford Homecoming Mums which are made with love by Stratford volunteers. If you would like to buy a HOCO mum, you can go directly to our store by clicking here, or if you would like to volunteer, you can see how to register for Mum Workshop Reminds by clicking here.
Additional fundraising consists of Tamale Sales in the wintertime, and Mulch Sales in the spring. More details on those opportunities to come! -
We are extremely thankful for our community sponsors! Sponsor donations not only support the Stratford Band and Guard, but they also forge a connection between us and those around us! For more information, visit our donor page here (click here to go directly to donor page.)
