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.
April 12th marks the start of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope 37 years ago. As part of the Canada 150 celebration, we are encouraging students on April 12th to visit our website to share a few words about what Terry means to them and be entered in a random draw to win one of 150 Terry Fox t-shirts. Students can click on “What Terry Means to Me” to enter (link will be live April 12).
Students may not have time during the school day so we encourage you to have them go online from home on April 12th.
We thank you for joining us in the fight against cancer and continuing Terry’s legacy for generations to come.

In Swahili Rafiki = Friend.
Being a friend to the world means making sure everyone gets the opportunity to lead the life they want.
We ARE fundraising handmade Rafiki bracelets to help Kenyan artisans earn money for themselves and their families so they can send their children to school and take charge of their future.
Rafiki bracelets are made by Kenyan artisans and can be purchased by the Howard Community for $10.00 each
(cash only please).
Rafiki bracelets are:
● Made with colourful glass beads threaded onto a stretch 48” cord
● Wear it your way – as a bracelet, necklace, anklet, headband, give as a gift and more!
● Includes a WE charm
Every Rafiki bracelet makes an impact in three ways:
● It helps the artisan who made it earn a living and save for the future
● It provides a tangible impact, like school supplies to a member of a developing community
● It allows us to fundraise for a cause we care about
Order forms will be sent home by classroom teachers on March 30th.
Orders will be accepted until Thursday April 13th.
Rafikis will be delivered by the end of April.
All proceeds collected after expenses will be donated to WE Education Fund.
Order forms are available through classroom teachers, the office and the attached flyer.
