Veteran's Salute Week

Dr. Joe Ward Elementary students and staff honor our military. We appreciate the sacrifices
of those currently servng in the military and our Veterans who have kept our country
safe. Each day of the week before Veteran's Day the Ward Wranglers honored our
veterans by wearing red, then white, and blue on subsequent days of the week.
We wore our school shirts and then our celebration culminated on Friday with a special
patriotic program with some of our current military members and veterans present.
We put up a bulletin board with pictures of our military members both past and present.
Thank you for helping our country remain: "the home of the brave and the land of the free."
