Surprise Soldier Homecoming for Ms. Ward and Family

A Special Moment at Hygiene Elementary

Our Hygiene Elementary community had the honor of witnessing a truly special moment as U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Ward returned from deployment and surprised his family in our hug-and-go lane last Friday. The joy and emotion were felt by all as he reunited with his wife, Amy Ward, our school counselor, and their four children.

We are excited to share that this heartfelt reunion will be featured on NBC Nightly News during their Good News Tonight segment on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. We encourage you to tune in to celebrate the Ward family with us. 

In case you missed it, you can watch the reunion video on Instagram.

Robotics Team Wins Best Design!

Congratulations to our Shining Dragons Team for receiving the Design Award which recognizes excellence in organization and design thinking process.  Great job Kara, Kenzi, Lilyca, Rinka, and Savannah.
