Meg Ward received the Ambassador of Ability Award at the Healing Farms Fundraising Banquet on Tuesday, October 22nd. Healing Farms is an amazing group who helps support and empower adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Meg received this award for her dedication and work to include all students no matter their ability. Over the last 10 years, Meg has worked with Healing Farms to help our students to “see ability, not disability.” Tron Severe, Executive Director of Healing Farms (and former Stratford teacher) says that Meg “knows the critical value of program we provide. Healing Farms is an avenue to teach her high school students the importance of ability, facilitate inclusion, and promoting respect.” Congrats Meg! This is a well-deserved award!

Several students from the Stratford Art Club did something EPIC last weekend!
Through a collective effort over the past two weeks, our Knights and future Knights have donated supplies for those devastated by Hurricane Helene in NC.

Coaches helped deliver and load a semi-truck driven by 2023 graduate William Conroy. What a great way to show our Knight pride!
