Alumnus Adam Ward: CBC Future 40 Winners Circle for Giftstone Project

Adam Ward, U of R Alumnus, Teacher at Sacred Heart Community School CBC Future 40 Winners Circle

Every year Adam Ward heads the Giftstone Project for our school at Christmastime. In December, students from Grades 4 to 8 at Sacred Heart Community School write a letter to Santa. Next, Adam sends out a letter to the Regina community requesting funds and then, unbelievably, personally shops for every gift requested by over 200 students. A beautiful thank you video, produced by Adam, is given to every Giftstone donor.

Adam does nothing for personal gain and his humble manner is an example to us all. Adam always says it is a privilege to teach in North Central and we say it is a privilege for our students, parents, and staff to work with him. Adam does all of this because he cares deeply about the students at Sacred Heart Community School. Adam is a blessing to our school, our students, and our community. Adam makes North Central a great place to learn, work, and play!
