Happy Monday! Happy Snowcoming Week!!
Spirit Week Days:
Monday, February 1st starts Spirit Week. The first day is Twin’s Day. I want to suggest wearing our most recent black and gold Howell North shirts that we were given by Andy and dress as “Twins” as a staff!
Tuesday: Old People (Upper Classmen) Vs Babies (Underclassmen—We should dress like teenagers since that is what we deal with every day!
Wednesday: Workout Wednesday- Get out your sweat pants and let’s match them with our recent blue Howell North shirts that we were given from KOE for Teacher Appreciation Week
Thursday: Neon (Underclassman) Vs Black and White (Upperclassman)—If you feel you have been here FOREVER, wear Black and White, if you are fairly new to the building (less than 5 years) wear NEON!
Friday: Class Color Day—Wear Black and Gold and have an amazing time at the Pep Assembly!!
