You can also drop off cash or cheques at the office until Friday, June 21.

Yearbook:
Remind your child bring their yearbook to grad and a pen for classmate signatures.

Call for volunteers:
We need many volunteers for before, during and after the graduation ceremony.
Grade 6 volunteers can help with decorating the gym and food prep.

It’s a Howard tradition that Grade 5 parents volunteer their time on grad night.
This allows the Grade 6 parents to be with their children.

Volunteer roles for Grade 5 parents include:

• helping set up, serve and clean up before the dance
• chaperone for the dance and end of night clean up helpers

You can sign up to volunteer by visiting Sign up Genius.

Twinkle, twinkle:
If you have strings of white twinkle lights, please consider loaning them for gym decorations. Please label your lights by writing your child’s name and area on masking tape. Lights can be dropped off at the Main Office this week in the box labelled Twinkle Lights. Your lights can be picked up the day after grad on June 26 at the Main Office.

Many thanks for your help in making this event a success.

Dear parents and Howard supporters,

We need you!!! The annual staff appreciation luncheon is:

next Tuesday, June 18 from 11:45am-1:30pm.

This event has been a great success in previous years thanks to parent and caregiver donations and volunteering.

We need donations of food and gifts, as well as volunteers to help set-up and clean-up on the day of the event. Just an hour of your time! The entire event relies on donations; Home and School funds cannot be allocated for it. Please give generously and sign up using https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E45A4AA2FA5FD0-donations

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 the raffle and cutlery can be put in the basket in the office by Monday, June 17th. Sending an Interac e-transfer to one of us is fine too. Food items should be brought to the staff room on June 18 anytime prior to the luncheon at 11:45am.

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

It’s nearly summer and once again time for our annual school potluck picnic – with pizza! All Howard families, as well as past students accompanied by current Howard families, are invited to pull up a blanket, celebrate our wonderful community, and share some tasty food… and pizza! All are welcome, though all children must be accompanied by parents.
