Back to Special Events - 2006-2007
 

The Staff and Parents at Dr. Joe Ward Elementary entered a contest sponsored by Sam's Club asking responders to explain why Dr. Joe Ward Elementary should be adopted by Sam's Club. Staff and parents wrote various responses including poems and explaining that we are the largest elementary school in Northside and we could use the support to buy books for our ever-increasing student population. Our hard work paid off as Dr. Joe Ward Elementary won second place in the contest and we were awarded $ 1,000. This money will be used to buy books for Guided Reading, for our third, fourth, and fifth grade classes.
