The beautiful Yoshino cherry trees are blossoming on the Stratford campus at the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Above, a cherry tree blooms near the middle school. Below, Stratford senior Hinal Patel, who is this year’s festival queen, rides on the royalty float with junior Monica Montalvo-Perez, a princess on the Cherry Blossom court, during last Saturdays’ parade on Cherry Street.
