Dear Warwick Schools Community,
As we enter the Thanksgiving Break, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our students, families, teachers, staff, and administrators. I encourage everyone to take this time to recharge, reflect, and enjoy the company of family and friends.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Holliman Kindergarten Thanksgiving Parade, and tomorrow, I look forward to seeing many familiar faces at the annual Thanksgiving Day Beacon Bowl between Pilgrim and Toll Gate High Schools. These are just a few of many longstanding traditions that reflect the pride and spirit of our Warwick community.
Best wishes for a restful and joyful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
William D. McCaffrey
Superintendent of Schools
