5th Grade Technology, Communication Coordinator, Librarian
Penn Ward
After a decade of nannying and substitute teaching in preschool classrooms, punctuated by receiving an M.A. in Literature from VCU and opening former RVA punk venue Strange Matter, Penn spends his days at Orchard House as Librarian, Front Desk Staff, and Communications Coordinator. He relishes an infectious drive for learning and is at his happiest at schools. When he isn't teaching coding, running the yearbook club, snapping photos, or juggling phone calls, you can find him wearing tons of reflective safety gear on his bike commute.
