Ge'Vontez worked really hard in this last month of elearning to catch up on his work and make sure that he passed my Geography class. He brought his Q4 grade up to a 93! I am so proud of him for sticking with it and turning in all of his assignments. This is proof that hard work really does pay off. Ge'Vontez can do anything he sets his mind to, I hope he remembers that for every class he takes and for anything else he wants to do in life. Great job Ge'Vontez!

Also, his mother was AMAZING to work with through this elearning process, she should get a SLIVER Knight Parent award!

Special Silver Knight Shoutout from Mrs. Hardy

# data[].attributes.subject
Special Silver Knight Shoutout from Mrs. Hardy

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Hardy would like to nominate all her students for this semester. She said:
1.       This semester, I have had three sections of English IV Honors, so maybe it comes as no surprise that literally every single student is exceptionally bright, but I would also add that since day one every one of them has remained positive, hardworking, polite, and responsible throughout the semester.

2.       During this time of elearning, there has never been a time when I haven’t been hearing from them and/or receiving work from them. Even though this has been a difficult time for many of them for a variety of reasons, all of them have done the vast majority of the assignments and have communicated with me if they were experiencing any issues that might impact their ability to turn their assignments in on time. Despite the challenges, all of them have continued to make their education a priority.

3.       I have had the privilege of teaching some amazing, wonderful young people in my career, students that I will never forget, but I cannot remember a time when I have been so blessed as to have 100% of my classes be made up entirely of such great human beings. It’s difficult to find the words to describe them because there are so many unique and special personalities, strengths, and talents among them, but teaching them has truly been an honor (no pun intended). They brought me joy every single day we were in the classroom, and I have missed them more than I can say.

4.       They are my last group of students, and that alone makes them extra special. It’s simply not fair that we didn’t get to spend this last quarter together. I know we all feel that way. I am certain that we have all missed out on many funny, poignant, teachable, and memorable moments that never got the chance to happen. Even so, I feel like each of my students made the best of the situation in his or her own way and in so doing, made the best of my last semester of teaching. Simply put, as a whole, they embody everything a Stratford Knight should be, and I would like to honor them for that.

Ashlynn did not have the easiest time switching to e-learning, but instead of throwing her Chromebook in a corner and giving up, she stuck with it. She showed up for GoogleMeet classes, asked questions about homework, led a small group review, and went over examples until she not only understood concepts but also could explain them to others. She was patient with me when I had technology issues, and would always bring a smile to our online class sessions. Ashlynn is a Silver Knight through-and-through!

Ben saw his work hours double and triple during our e-learning time, yet did not let that become an excuse for letting classwork slide. If timing for a class activity was a problem, he emailed to let me know his availability around work to find another option. If a video or set of notes didn’t make sense, he would Google another explanation, and then ask for examples or another resource rather than give up. In class meetings, he would help other students with his explanations and sharing resources he found helpful. His ability to prioritize his schoolwork over leisure and his job is indicative of what a success he is going to be in life beyond high school.  This exceptional work ethic and ability to reason through competing priorities is what makes Ben a Knight of the Month!

It is highly unusual for a staffulty member who is a parent to nominate their own child for Knight of the Month, but these are unusual times.  Spencer Condon has done a terrific job since eLearning began.  With all her classes being at Trident, I did not see her often at school like I am used to doing.  Once we were all home, I was able to see the effort she put into her studies and also helping her peers at Stratford make the transition to a modified senior experience that canceled many of the activities they had all been looking forward to doing after watching seniors for the past 3 years.  Spencer researched and worked with the Student-Staffulty group to brainstorm activities and ways to reach out to the student body. One of her suggestions became what we called Knight Lights 2020.  We can all agree that it was a resounding success in showing the seniors that we care and celebrating their accomplishments.  Aside from completing her coursework and helping the student body, Spencer also became a huge help with her youngest sister's eLearning first grade experience.  While we have not gone without conflict during the past two months, I have been impressed with Spencer's attitude, effort, and servant's heart.  I am thankful that I was given the time and opportunity to appreciate her before she goes to Clemson in August (hopefully) and unable to return to how things have been for the past 12 years.

Rori Mae has been a workhorse since coming to Stratford.  She puts her heart into everything she does and goes above and beyond.  Throughout this quarantine, she has been the most dependable and reliable student, each day completing her work and working on Leadership projects so that she can impact the lives of her Stratford family.  I am proud of Rori Mae’s work ethic and positive spirit.  I love working with her and I’m glad that we have a few more years together.

Jeniece is a polite, pleasant young lady. She cares about others and does many nice things for people. Jeniece works hard and always tries her best.  Showing school spirit, she participates in school events like spirit week and High Five Fridays, and she supports clubs such as the Sign Language Club. Her attendance and behavior are commendable.  I enjoy having Jeniece as a student.

In the nomination process I was able to quickly identify the student I desired to nominate.  I have known this fine young man since birth. He definitely has a special place in my heart. My choice was not just because I already knew him, but chosen for the excellent student example he has become. This ninth grader came to Stratford this school year and jumped right into his academics and extra- curricular involvement with self-discipline. His participation in theatre presentation memorization was amazing. He proved to be a natural on stage.  While preparing for his performance, he continued to attend his Church and Make-It-Matter with his academic deadlines as well. He has a somewhat quiet demeanor, until he is acquainted. He is to be commended for the pleasant and respectful personality he shares with his peers and Staff.  He rarely asked for assistance in the office but I only know him to always offer a please Ma’am, yes Ma’am and thank you Ma’am.
This student is Chase Lupton.  He deserves this moment as a reminder how proud I am of him and appreciate how he models the values of Stratford High School. I know God has big plans for his life and I wish him the very best in the future!

I am certain I have nominated Christian Stika for Knight of the Month at least once every year he has attended Stratford, and it seems so appropriate that he would be chosen as senior Knight of the Month as his high school career is coming to an end.  Christian is polite, hardworking and conscientious, which makes him a wonderful student to teach.  More importantly, Christian is a kind and loving soul who wears his heart on his sleeve.  There is an honesty and enthusiasm in everything he does, and he is well respected and loved by his fellow classmates and teachers.   From his first day at Stratford, he has been a Knight through and through. I am so proud of all he has accomplished and know that there are even bigger and better things in his future.  It is bittersweet to say good-bye to him as his teacher, but look forward to hearing about his upcoming adventures.  As it is said, Once a Knight, Always a Knight, therefore we will always be his Stratford Family.

Trinity exemplifies everything we ask for in our students. Even though she is quiet and unassuming in her personality, Trinity is extremely kind and decent to her classmates and me. While others may get distracted and cut-up in class, she maintains her focus and handles her business. Based on her effort and her grades, it is obvious that she is dedicated to maximizing her education. I never have to question whether I’m going to get anything less than 100% out of Trinity. She demonstrates responsibility over her classwork; that self-motivation has helped her keep on top of her work and excel in class. Trinity is a model student in both her behavior and performance and I am honored that she has been chosen as KOM.

The two qualities that sets Jordan apart from other students is his politeness and enthusiasm.  Everyday Jordan makes me smile before, during, and after class.  He enters the classroom with a smile.  During class, he will answer all my questions with enthusiasm even the ones that no one else wants to answer.  I can always count on Jordan to give it a try.  When class is over and everyone is racing out the door, Jordan always tells me to have a good day.  Finally, Jordan continues to make me smile during these e-learning days by completing all of his assignments ON TIME.  He is a role model for me and his classmates.

Jaden is such an incredible young lady. She is a great student and works really hard to do the very best that she can. Through our extended eLearning during Covid-19, she has shown great self-sufficiency and gotten all of her assignments in on time.  Aside from her impressive work ethic, I am also very impressed by her integrity and positive attitude. She is so very kind and true to herself. I have always admired that about her! Jaden, I am so sorry that the end of your senior year has been taken from you. Although it isn’t fair, I can tell from afar that you are looking at things from a positive perspective. I miss seeing your face every day in my classroom!
