Hoops and Homework To Honor Sharon Ward

The Board of Directors of Hoops & Homework will honor Sharon Ward with its Hero Award on January 7.

Ward is the staff supervisor at Interfaith and assists the staff at Pusan Road’s Hoops & Homework program.

She has organized Hoops & Homework‘s procedures, such as the daily routine and student record keeping regarding their homework status, said Hoops & Homework founder Herb Chasan.

“Each of our youngsters now has a folder with all relevant information about what they have accomplished and what areas they need to improve,” said Chasan thanks to Ward.

Ward also has put on parties using donations from parents and local businesses.

“This has been a huge benefit to the whole community. Goodwill is obvious at these events,” said Chasan.

“Thanks to Sharon, we now have a student of the day program with prizes which is a great motivator for the kids to do their work,” said Chasan.

“She has accomplished this with such grace, dignity, and cooperation from the whole staff, the kids and the parents. Sharon definitely is well deserving of this award for her outstanding work. She is a true leader with much respect from all. Hoops and Homework is very fortunate to have her on our staff,” concluded Chasan.
