Warde Students Recognized by Easter Seal Rehabilitation Center for Outstanding Fundraising Effort 40 Years Ago This Week


The Easter Seal Rehabilitation Center of Eastern Fairfield County paid special tribute to the students of Andrew Warde High School "who have shown the greatest effort among all participating area high schools in their response to the needs of their fellow man in 1970 and 1971." That's according to a newspaper story which appeared in The Bridgeport Post, Wednesday, June 23, 1971.

Warde students raised $3,304 under the chairmanship of Miss Karen Medve (pictured above left) and Miss Nancy Whiteman. Mrs. Jay Kaner, vice president of the Rehabilitation Center's board of directors, presented a plaque to be displayed at the school to Miss Medve and Mr. Kenneth Petersen, headmaster.
