Howbert Happenings
November 13, 2022
Being on time is essential for student success! Teachers begin instruction promptly at 7:50, many times starting with valuable lessons such as literacy. Being even 5 minutes tardy, multiple days a month can have a negative impact on your child's education.

Random Acts of Kindness
Inclusiveness is including others, inviting them in, and welcoming them with open arms.
This week the goal is to look beyond our home and care for our community. How we treat and interact with our community as a family says a great deal about how much we care. This week our project focuses on personally interacting with our immediate community (neighborhood, town, etc.) through caring acts. See the PDF for the Home-Community project.
