Posted Date: 11/04/26 (04:00 PM)

Good afternoon Ward families,

I have two important announcements for our community. Please see the updated flyer below for more information about our Dads Read and Lead Breakfast and information about the Henrico's Student Poster Design Challenge winners.
A purple and yellow event flyer for "Dad's Read & Lead" by the Ward Fatherhood Committee on November 12th.


🏆 Congratulations to two of our talented 5th graders who were recognized as division winners in Henrico's Student Poster Design Challenge!
Last week, an optional competition was shared with our 4th and 5th grade families through ParentSquare, inviting students to create posters that explored the addictive nature of technology and encouraged healthy screen habits. We are incredibly proud of the creativity, critical thinking, and powerful messages our students shared through their work. 👏📱💻
A special shoutout to our two winning 5th graders, Ayaan and Nina, for representing Ward so well and using their voices to promote healthy digital habits! Their posters have been highlighted on the Henrico Innovation Instagram page and will be presented to the School Board!
