"Strategies to Support Reading at Home" by Naomi Singer
Friday, November 21st 8:35 am
How do you inspire your child to love reading? What strategies from school can you use at home? How do you choose "just right" books? Ward School's literacy specialist, Naomi Singer, will provide helpful tips on Friday morning. Join us at the monthly PTO Meeting right after drop-off in the Ward library for this useful presentation.
Free Flu Clinic

Newton Health Department has joined several nearby communities to sponsor a free flu clinic from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at Belmont High School, 221 Concord Ave, Belmont. The clinic is open to all people six months of age and older, and no appointments are necessary. In addition to flu shots, FluMist®, a nasal spray version of the influenza vaccine, will be offered.

Each year the Ward PTO provides $5,000 to assist our teachers in buying supplies to set-up classrooms. Teachers get funds for their classroom to buy items they'd otherwise not be able to get or would pay for out of their own pockets. A few of the things teachers have bought recently include: mailboxes for completed papers, report folders, craft supplies, books, educational board games, tubs to organize books, transparencies and more. Take a look in the Ward School lobby for pictures of how your PTO contribution is supporting our teachers and our children.
