From the Principal

Dear Ward Families,
Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, a restful break, and had a chance to spend time with family and friends.  What a mild holiday it was this past week!  It was hard to believe it was December without a little white on the ground. 
Before leaving for the December break, Ward school was busy with many events and happenings.  The book fair and holiday boutique were huge successes.  Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped to organize and run both events. 
Ward School students in the band and orchestra dazzled and amazed their audiences at the Winter concert this past December!  Great job students! A special thanks to our teachers, Mr. Duke and Mr. Flanz, who worked so hard with the children.
Looking ahead in January, we will be having a special presentation at our PTA meeting.  On January 12th, the PTA meeting will be held at 7:00 pm and will feature an anti-bullying presentation.  I hope to see you all there. 
Again, I would like to wish all the Ward families a very happy new year and I look forward to Ward Schools continued rise to be the very best!
   Sincerely,                      
Franco J. Miele, Principal
