 Photos

As a parting gift to the Class of 2018, a Yearbook is being created for these students.  Do you have some special pictures that you would like to share of the grade 6 students, from the present year, or even of their past years at Howard?  Please send us your photos, Yearbook production is in the works right now, and there is still time to get your pictures in.  In addition to the yearbook, they will be added to the slide show during the grad night! Please upload your photos by using this link to Dropbox Dropbox – Submit files

 We are looking for a parent or two with some time over the next couple of weeks who could go into the school and take some candid grad pictures. Please let us know via the sign up below.

Planning Committee and Grad Set Up

If you would like to help out with the planning or set up of the graduation night,  here is the volunteer sign up – Grade 6 Grad Party Sign Up – please sign up for something of interest to you.

 Grade 5 Parents

 It is a longstanding Howard tradition for grade 5 parents to volunteer their time on graduation night, so the grade 6 parents can be with their children and enjoy the event.  If you can help on Tuesday June 26^th, the jobs and times are listed in the sign up  Grade 6 Grad Party Sign Up

 Stay tuned for more details in the coming days …

Howard Staff Appreciation Luncheon – Tuesday June 12 11:45am-1:30pm

Dear parents and Howard supporters,

In a few weeks parents and volunteers will treat Howard teachers and staff to an end-of-year luncheon as thanks for everything they do teaching, caring for and looking after the well-being of our children throughout the school year.   This event has been a great success in previous years thanks to parent and caregiver donations and volunteering.

We ask parents and caregivers for donations of food and gifts, as well as set-up and clean-up on the day of the event.  The entire event relies on donations; Home and School funds cannot be allocated for it.  Please give generously and sign up using SignUpGenius-HowardLuncheon.

Donations of cash or cheque should be put into an envelope and left – clearly labeled – at the office in the folder “Luncheon”, while wine for raffle and cutlery can be given to office staff or given to Sophie/Leslie by Thursday, June 7.  Interac e-transfer to one of us is fine, too.  Food items should be brought to the staff room on June 12 anytime prior to the luncheon at 11:45am.

Thank you in advance for your efforts.  If you have any questions, please contact us.
