A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Howard Families,
Did you know we had two celebrations this week? A celebration for our volunteers AND our great Howard staff. One Monday, we had a carry-in luncheon for all the fabulous volunteers we have here at Howard. There is no way we could all we do without your help. Thanks for always being there when we need you! We celebrated Staff Appreciation Week by delivering favorite treats, snacks, giving away prizes and we had a carry-in on Wednesday. It is never too late to say thank to our school staff. There dedication and love is like none I have ever known. Your Hornets are very blessed.
This will be our last Howard Gram of the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and kindness. Being new to anything, be it a place a job a position or life change can be challenging. This community has made me feel right at home. I can’t express to you how much I have loved coming to work each day. Howard is an amazing school with an even more amazing community. I am sad to see this year end, but I am looking forward to the school years to come.
Rhonda Lanie
A NOTE FROM OUR NURSE
As the school year is rapidly coming to a close, this is a friendly reminder to start thinking about picking up any medication(s) your student may have in the clinic. Due to school policy, prescription and over-the-counter medication (including cough drops) CANNOT be sent home with students. An adult MUST come in to pick up all medications.
The last day of school will be Thursday, May 24th. Medications may be picked up from the school health clinic anytime from now until the last day of school. My regular clinic hours are 8:45 am -3:45 pm. After May 24th, all unclaimed prescription and over-the-counter medication will be destroyed according to the policy of Northwestern School Corporation.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
