This petition is being circulated so our voices can be heard by Adams County School District 12 to reinstate Mr. Jeff Ward's teaching contract at Riverdale Elementary for the 2012-2013 school year. We are coming together to advocate for Mr. Jeff Ward. His performance in his classroom this year has been phenomenal. His students have had remarkable gains in academics.  He has also boosted their confidence in themselves to make these academic gains. Our Community can not afford to lose a teacher as exceptional as Mr. Ward. The future of our children depend on having teachers who can change the lives of our children.

This whole thing makes me sick. You guys are losing a great educator over nothing. Put him back in the classroom where he belongs.
