Wednesday, February 7, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 13 Jordan Pollard Sisters High School January 2018 Student of the Month Jordan Pollard likes challenges. A taste for challenges has led him to serve as Community Ser- vice Coordinator for ASG and to take on three sports: cross-coun- try, track and swimming. And heʼs planning to move on to a big chal- lenge after graduation. “Iʼve enlisted in the Marine Corps for a fi ve-year reconnais- sance contract,” he said. “I think the brotherhood of the Marine Corps is pretty cool.” The physical demands of that endeavor alone are daunting — but Pollard is up to it; heʼs one of the Outlawsʼ standout runners, and heʼs got a head start through the SHS IEE program. In addition to sports and the outdoors, Jordan enjoys working in the wood shop, where he built a ukulele. Jordan says he appreciates the strong connection between the Sisters community and its schools. “I think Sisters does a good job of community-to-school — with the connection,” he said. “I think the school connection and the community connection is important.” “Jordan Pollard works hard. He is motivated, dedicated, and disciplined, and such commitment to his goals has led him to be one of the fastest runners in the state. He is also kind and car- ing. This year in cross-country, Jordan led his team, developing a culture of fun, diligence and high expectations. Jordan goes the extra mile for others. I am so proud of Jordan and the accom- plishments he has earned.” — Rima Givot “Jordan Pollard is an amazing Out- law who has industry, integrity, and passion. He works hard every day in the classroom, on the trails, and on the track, which is why heʼs been such a crucial member of so many dif- ferent SHS teams. Heʼs also one of those people who consistently does the right thing — even when doing the right thing is diffi cult. In addition, he cares deeply about our students, our school, and our community, which is why he constantly goes out of his way to take care of others. In short, heʼs a great student who leads by set- ting a positive example, which is why he defi nitely deserves this award.” — Matt Bradley “Jordan is an absolutely all-in young man. He goes at 100 per- cent at everything that he does. He is also so good when anyone needs help, he truly cares for others and helps the underdog.” — Rand Runco “Jordan is one of the hardest-work- ing student athletes that I have got to work with here in Sisters. He has a tremendous commitment to excellence and his work ethic is contagious. SHS has benefi ted greatly from hav- ing this young man in our hallways, classrooms, and representing us in athletics!” — Gary Thorson These businesses have joined The Nugget in supporting our youth and their accomplishments by co-sponsoring the Student of the Month program.
