We are excited to announce the date for the annual Ward School Fun Run. October 24,  (rain date: October 25), starting at 9am and running for about 20 minutes.

What is the Ward FUN Run?
The FUN Run is a community-building fundraiser that starts now and culminates in an all-school run/walk/skip around Ward field on October 24th. All students are welcome to participate, and all students receive a Ward Fun Run t-shirt and sticker.

Scheduled on the morning October 24th
Grades will be paired with their learning buddy grades, 5+2, 4+1, 3+k. Learning Buddies will run together. The event will begin at 9am and last about 20 minutes. 

What are we raising money for and what is our goal?

We are hoping to raise $13,000 to cover the cost of our Creative Arts and Sciences enrichment programing. The program is funded entirely by the PTO and Lrepresents 15-20% of the total PTO budget.

Creative Arts and Sciences is a hands-on learning, cross-curricular, and culturally diverse program that brings  individuals and organizations to Ward, including Mass Audubon, Tanglewood Marionettes, and author visits. Each grade level gets three unique programs tailored to its curriculum. Many thanks to Anita He, Ward’s CAS Coordinator; and Ceri Evans, Jessica Harkiewicz, and Cuicui Chen, our CAS grade level liaisons, for bringing these fantastic learning experiences to Ward.
