We are still looking for white strings of Christmas lights(preferably large bulbs, but we’ll take what you have) to lend or donate. As well, we are looking for flameless tea lights, if anyone has these to lend or give. There is a box in the office labelled ‘Gr. 6 Grad lights’. Please drop off your lights to this box as soon as possible before June 21st. If you would like your lights back after the dance, please attach a label to the string with your child’s name and area number and we will happily return them to you.

Kub Kar Update

Dear All,
The response to the Kub Kars has been amazing, and the coming Stem Night at the school on Thursday the 21st promises to be a bigger hit than last year, with plenty of areas to keep minds young and old active!
If you were planning on making your own Kub Kar racer for the night, then we have bad news and even better news – The Kars have been going so fast from the front desk, that we have had difficulty keeping up. At the moment we have run out, but don’t worry, another order for Kars has been placed and will be with us soon.
More news to follow as soon as we get them!
See you on Thursday!
The STEM Volunteer Parents.
If you have any questions about the cars then please Email: adam_noble@yahoo.com

Howard Staff Luncheon Success – Thank You

To all who gave food, their time and other donations to make the Howard Staff Luncheon a huge success, we would like to thank you.  Your generous donations were thoroughly enjoyed.

The staff had a wonderful time at the luncheon and were ever-appreciative.  Many of them thanked us multiple times, and asked us to pass on their appreciation to all of the Howard parents who made the luncheon possible.

You may pick up your dishes and serving utensils on the table in the first floor hallway.
