At STRIDE Academy, we have success stories happening every day, and one of those stories includes our STRIDE student Madilyn who works with our Dyslexia specialist Kelly Haws. When our students succeed, we succeed. This is Madilyn with her family - she completed Book 1 of the Barton Method working with Kelly Haws in November and she's well on her way! Look at those smiles! We're so proud of you Madilyn!

Did you know that 1 in 5 students have dyslexia? Over the next couple of weeks we will be featuring some highlights from our Dyslexia Program. Today we are introducing Kelly Haws and Shannan Daniels, our Dyslexia Specialists. Kelly and Shannan have decades of experience working with students with dyslexia and have brought their expertise to STRIDE! They work together to assess, boost up, and tutor using the Barton Method. We are so proud to be working with Kelly and Shannan to support STRIDE students.

Have you heard the saying about giving your child roots and wings? Well here at STRIDE we have our very own Rootes! Alex Rootes, one of our 4th grade teachers. What does Alex think of our school? "I enjoy working at STRIDE Academy and learning from students and their different backgrounds. I enjoy the challenge of connecting with kids so that I can maximize their learning potential and, in the end, by encouraging them to be life long learners."

Every school has a Physical Education Teacher, but we are lucky to have the BEST one, Jason Fleege. What does Mr. Fleege have to say about STRIDE? "I've been at STRIDE for 8 years and have worked with many different staff. The common theme among all of them is having the determination for everyone to succeed: school, staff and students. This work ethic is passed on to the students to create positive daily habits. The other reason I love STRIDE is for the happy and smiling faces I get to see on a daily basis in Phy. Ed. class where I also get to pass on the importance of a strong work ethic to create a lifetime of fun and health."
