There are many students that have came to Stratford public school in the past 10 years … And here are the ones that are still here Sam joined kindergarten in 2012. The next year, Jared joined kindergarten in 2013. After that, Patience joined kindergarten and Dellanie joined Jared in the 1st grade.

The next year, Patience was too smart for 1st grade and was moved up to second grade. Sam stayed back in second grade, so he was in the same grade as Dellanie, Patience, and Jared. Next year, Autumn, Noah, and James joined third grade. In fifth grade, Galaxy joined, and that was our first year in middle school.
