Message from the Principal

Mary Allen Elementary

I am so proud of our campus for the hard work given and accomplishments made over the past year.  It feels good to be an A rated campus and celebrate teachers and students who gave their best!  We will do everything we can to maintain that level of achievement for our youngest students.  

Stratford ISD and MAE are deeply rooted in the traditions of hard work, high expectations, compassion, and parent involvement.  It takes us all working together to help Stratford students meet their full potential.  At Mary Allen, we strive to be the best Elks we can be.  Our theme for the year is We are Stratford ELKS, with each letter in elks representing Effort, Leadership, Kindness, and Sportsmanship.  Each person on our staff is dedicated to modeling these behaviors and instilling these values in our students.

The future is exciting, and I am reminded of this quote by Zig Ziglar,  “If there is hope in the future, there is power in the present!”  I am honored to be part of this adventure.  We are committed to creating awesome opportunities for growth and learning, while making memories that will last a lifetime.  

We are in this together – staff, students, parents, community – as we continue our journey towards excellence.

 Thank you,

 Erin Pingelton, Principal
