I hope you have a wonderful day full of happiness and laughter. You made senior year so much more tolerable with your unique humor and positive attitude. Itā€™s hard to forget the memes you liked putting on your do now or how you made us watch teletubbies once. As someone who sat closed to the front of the room it was very disturbing. But on the other hand you always found ways to keep us motivated and on our toes. Such as the ketchup clap, truck clap or hugging Mother Earth. I hope you recall the fond memories of us making you climb on your table or doing the carb walk. I miss you and your class a lot and wish you strength and health in your journey forward.Ā

Itā€™s been a while but I still miss your B-Band AP Lit class. Nothing compares to the relaxed atmosphere and helpful style of learning in the classroom, as well as the material we did throughout the year. I hope youā€™re doing well and that your students this year are great too. Happy Birthday again!]]> 2020-10-20 19:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/welovemrward/hbd/wish/846443650 Happy Birthday! https://padlet.com/welovemrward/hbd/wish/846509543 Happy birthday Mr. Ward! Iā€™m so grateful to be one of the lucky few that had the privilege of having you for two years. Our small class junior year was hands down my favorite class of all of high school, and Iā€™m not even a fan of English. You made that class so fun with your warm, understanding, and fun spirit. Everyday was a laugh and smile that I will forever cherish. Thank you for giving me, and so many others like me, a person to talk to and confide in, treating us like your own. I hope you have the best day because that is all that you deserve. Itā€™s people like you that make this world a better place, and everyone who has met you knows that. I hope things continue to look bright for yourself and your family. Miss you Mr. Ward.Ā

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I remember being your first ever student on your first day at Goldstein and how chill you were. You have been an inspiration for me and I strive to become a man like you. I enjoyed our deep talks in between class  and how different you were from every other teacher. You radiated positivity and you always cheered up my mood in your class. You are an amazing inspiration, teacher, and father and I am so glad I met you. I wish you happiness and good health. Thank you for being an beacon of light in my life. I hope you enjoy your birthday! 

Much Love,

I want to wish you a very happy birthday. May this year bring you nothing but health, wealth, happiness, and anything that you could possibly dream of. I really wish that I was back in you 12th grade English class so that i can tell you this in person, but this will do. Thank you for always giving your support to us, and always bringing us smiles when everyone was so stressed about college. I really hope to see you still bring happiness to everyone around you.Ā 
Sincerely,Ā

Itā€™s a rare treat to have an english teacher bold enough to challenge his students with his text selection, competent enough to teach them, and creative enough to make it all memorable. Your class was definitely the highlight of my senior year (doubtless that applies to many others as well) and I envy every student that gets to learn at your side; operative segment being ā€œat your side.ā€ How else am I to describe it? Your lessons felt truly personal, as though you were talking with us rather than lecturing at us. As if that wasnā€™t enough, your concern with our emotional wellbeing really made all the difference. I hope you know just how many bright eyed youths youā€™ve left an indelible mark on with your dedication to your profession and to just being a laudable human being. There are teachers, and there are mentors. You are by far the latter. -Jaden Eyzenberg]]> 2020-10-20 20:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/welovemrward/hbd/wish/846666646 Happy birthday https://padlet.com/welovemrward/hbd/wish/846710850 I want to wish you a very happy birthday Mr.Ward. You deserve the best and I could never thank you enough for all that you helped me with last year. You are by far one of the best teachers I have ever encountered and I know so many of your other students feel the same. I know you will push through these difficult times and I hope you know that you have the support of all of your students. Ā šŸ’œšŸ’œ

I just got a DM from one of your current students letting me know this brilliant birthday card someone had created for all your past students to sign. I am currently beaming reading through the birthday wishes that people have written on here; I hope you are beaming just as much and know how much you are loved and care for.Ā 

Adding on to everyone elseā€™s gratitude of having you as a teacher at one time or another, I want to thank you for being one of the coolest and most thoughtful teachers I have had. Not only thank you to your encouragement and advice about applying to Amherst, but thank you for being there every single day to make us laugh with your silly dad jokes and blow our minds with your massive intellect.Ā 

You are so very much appreciated and loved, and I wish you the speediest of recoveries. This will all be one of the adventurous stories you tell your students, and I cannot wait to hear about your bravery and fight.Ā 

As for your birthday- I wish you nothing but the best in life including health, happiness, love, and all that good shit this life has to offer. I hope youā€™re shoving your face in a massive cake right now and enjoying the day with your loved ones. Hereā€™s to many, many more years!Ā
