Celebrating a life of teaching
During this past holiday season, a celebration was held at Lockside Grill to honor Patricia Ward's 32 years of service as an education and philanthropic leader in Chesapeake. Numerous friends, teachers, administrators, school board members, former students and their parents, family members and the Major shared in the festivities. Guests were asked to bring food items for families in need rather than retirement gifts.
