🌟 PES Educator of the Week: Mrs. Ward! 🌟 With an incredible 30 years of educational experience, Mrs. Ward has dedicated her career to nurturing young minds across all five elementary schools in Caroline County. From teaching every grade (K–5) in the classroom to now serving as a Reading Specialist, her passion for student success shines in everything she does! 📚❤️Mrs. Ward holds multiple degrees, including an AA in Business, a Bachelor’s of Science, a Bachelor’s of Art, and a Master’s Degree. She is a certified Reading Specialist and an integral part of the SIT ITSS Team. Though she plans to retire after this school year, we’re thrilled she hopes to return in some teaching capacity next year. Her legacy is a testament to the quote she lives by: "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Thank you, Mrs. Ward, for your tireless dedication, kindness, and heart. PES is better because of you! 💜🌈 #PESEducatorOfTheWeek #ThankYouMrsWard #ReadingMatters #PESPride
