Meet Ms. Ward
Ms. Ward
I am very pleased to be working with the Class of 2021 and 2022 at River City Scholars. Sixth Grade English is one of my favorite classes to teach! I am also very excited to be serving as a middle school interventionist this year. This gives us a chance to create and use building blocks to success, and also enrich learning.
In the past 12 years, I have taught every grade from grade 6 to grade 12, except for grade 9. For the last six years, I taught at Westwood Middle School (6th grade and 7th grade). Before that, I taught 7th grade English at Riverside Middle. I spent my first few years as a teacher working with high school students, at a few different schools in Grand Rapids. It's a new experience every year. I love teaching, even though it is very challenging and it can be difficult to find ways to keep kids motivated. My hope is that each student realizes the opportunity he/she is being given. A good education is priceless.
I am also a product of Grand Rapids Public Schools. I graduated waaayyy back in 1995 from Creston High School. I have earned my Masters Degree in Differentiated Instruction from Grand Valley State University (GVSU) and I also earned my teaching certificate from their reputable School of Education, back in 2003.

I have a daughter who is 9 years old, and we have two cats, Daisy and Smokey. Another fun tidbit: I am also a poet and writer. My first book, Respective Dreamlands, is available in bookstores and is also available for online purchase!
