WOWZA!!! 

Way to go Howard Parents!!!

A HUGE Thank You to every one that came out to support us that night and volunteered! Another Thank You to those that cleaned out their change jars and purses, the kids were hilarious to watch running up and down the halls "bombing" buckets. Pics of that are coming soon ;-)

Enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend!!

Lots of Luck for Black Friday shopping!!

Penny Wars

Penny Wars is a great and fun way to raise money for our school. And to get rid of all that change weighing down your purse and pockets ;-) It has become a tradition around our house to "hunt" pennies the week a "war" is on. This year Penny Wars will be held November 5th-9th

Here's how it works;

• Each penny = 1 point
• Silver coins and dollars = -1 point (they subtract from the class total)
• Every class has their own bucket

Each morning between 7:30-8:00, during the week of Penny Wars, the students who have money for the Wars, are allowed to go to other classes and "bomb" their buckets with silver coins and/or dollars. On Friday morning the class with the most points wins the Penny War.

Though there is one catch; Each classroom's bucket will be out during our Fall Festival (Thursday, November 8th) and every coin or dollar dropped in the buckets, on that night only, counts as pennies. So if you drop in a dollar it will = 100 points for that class. But this is only during our fall festival!

ALL of the money collected will stay with Howard Elementary to help with our school needs!!

Fall Festival

Howard Elementary's annual Fall Festival and Silent Auction will be held on Thursday, November 8th at 5pm. Every year Howard uses this event to raise funds for our school which means every dime that is collected stays with in Howard Elementary School to serve for Howard Elementary School programs.

Food for the Fall Festival super is donated by H.G. Hills Grocery Store.


Our silent auction contains many items such as themed gift baskets that are provided by each classroom from every grade. Themes such as Snowmen, Coffee and Chocolates, Books and Disney provided by our Kindergarten families, are just a few to mention.

Local companies and small businesses have also donated gift certificates and gift cards for various items and/or services.

The PTO also puts together a cake walk with delicious goodies from local bakeries.

There will also be a fun activity for children of all ages....bounce houses and slides located inside our gym

Our talented 2nd and 4rd graders will also be starring in a music program.

Howard Elementary Fall Festival makes a great family night and a wonderful opportunity to associate yourself with other Howard families.

Hope to see you there!!

PTO Needs Your Help

In Planning for our Fall fest next week on November 8th, we have joined together with H.G. Hills who have been generous enough to donate our dinner that night.

But here is where we need your help....Serving the delicious dinner. We need several Volunteers to help us serve other parents and guests. If you are interested or have any other ideas for this need please contact Howard PTO at howardpto@gmail.com
