Meet the Teacher
The Ford Panthers had a fun back-to-school gathering on Thursday night, which included warm greetings and hugs between staff and students. The Ford Ice Cream Social allowed students to meet their teachers and get their classroom assignments while enjoying an ice pop or ice cream sandwich. Ford Elementary is accepting registration for new students now.
Meet Steve Smith, a beloved crossing guard at Ford Elementary. You might recognize him from his 20 years coaching baseball at Tucson High Magnet School; now, his favorite part of the job is simply "hanging out with the kids." Thank you for keeping our community safe!
