Dear Ward Families,
Well, this is what spring feels like.  We have had quite the fair weather this year as opposed to going straight from winter to summer.  It has been wonderful to be able to enjoy the outdoors the past few weeks.
This past month, the school district held their Annual Art show at the New Rochelle public library.  Congratulations to the students and teachers, Mrs. Leventhal and Mrs. Anderson on a job well done! 
Congratulations to Mrs. Rooney! She was one of five finalists in the Top Teacher Contest on the Live with Kelly and Michael Show.   Mrs. Rooney is one of the most devoted and extraordinary teachers.  She is a special person and we are lucky that she is part of the Ward family. 
May has, once again, been a busy month.  Classrooms have been busy with wonderful activities as we near the end of another school year.  I would like to wish everyone a relaxing Memorial Day break.  I hope the sun is shining for that long weekend.  Thank you for all your continued support of Ward school.  I look forward to a very productive remainder of this school year!


  Sincerely,
  Franco J. Miele
Principal
