Howe Public Schools

HPS Library hosted the first "Spin It to Win It" AR Rewards Day today! 70 students who earned 50, 100, 250, and 300 points this year got to spin the wheel for prizes. We also recognized our first ever "Millionaire's Club" readers--Isla and Carson read over 1M words; Jared and Zandra read over 2M words; and Briley read over 3M words!!! We are SO PROUD of all of our readers!

Mrs. Yakel’s Senior English classes got to make a special memory today with Senior Kindergarten Day! Students went “back to kindergarten” for the day, hearing a special story, making All About Me artwork, creating a poster that represents each class, and of course eating favorite school day snacks! Finally, they played dress up with super hero capes and shades for a special photo op. This special day was a reward for these seniors’ hard work all year! Congratulations, class of 2026! “Oh the places you’ll go!” Mrs. Yakel is so proud of you all!

Reminder: Physicals for any athlete entering grades 6th-12th in the upcoming 2026-27 school year will be on May 6th at 8:30 AM in the Lobby of the new gym. Cost is $10. Current JOM students' physicals will be paid out of the Howe JOM fund.
