Regional Win for the Lady Lions!
The Howe Lady Lions earned a big Regional victory over Colcord tonight with an impressive 83–27 win at Porter. They advance to the Regional Championship game on Saturday at 6 pm at Porter.
The team played with focus, discipline, and strong defensive pressure from start to finish. It was a complete team effort and a great showing at Class 2A Area III Regionals.

🐾PAWS-itive Learning in Mrs. Rana’s 1st Grade! 🐾
Mrs. Rana’s 1st graders are strengthening their phonics and spelling skills using new magnetic phonics kits made possible through the Oklahoma Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Implementation Grant. Howe Public Schools was awarded this five-year grant toward the end of the 2024–2025 school year, and we are already seeing the impact in our classrooms!
During this lesson, students practiced identifying sounds, blending phonemes, and building words by actively manipulating magnetic letter tiles. This hands-on approach helps students connect sounds to letters, improve decoding skills, and grow more confident in their spelling and reading abilities.
When students can physically move sounds and build words, learning sticks. These Lions were fully engaged, focused, and proud of the words they created!
We are grateful for the CLSD grant support that allows us to invest in high-quality literacy resources and strengthen foundational reading skills for our youngest learners.
Way to go, Mrs. Rana’s 1st Grade! Keep showing those PAWS-itive literacy skills! 🐾

💰🐾 PAWS-itive Learning in Mrs. Gardenhire’s 2nd Grade! 🐾💰
Mrs. Gardenhire’s 2nd graders have been hard at work building real-world math skills! Students practiced counting mixed coins and showing the same amount in different ways, strengthening their number sense, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Through hands-on learning and teamwork, students explored how one amount can be made in multiple ways. One quarter, two dimes and a nickel, or five nickels, they discovered that the same value doesn’t always look the same! Watching them collaborate, explain their thinking, and celebrate those “aha!” moments has been awesome.
These Lions are learning skills that go far beyond the classroom. Understanding money combinations prepares them for real-life situations like counting change, budgeting, and making smart financial decisions in the future.
We are proud of the focus, teamwork, and PAWS-itive attitudes in Mrs. Gardenhire’s classroom! 👏🐾

Congratulations to our 7th and 8th Grade academic team on a great season. Finished the season off one win away from making it to state. Proud of them for their effort and determination.
PK and K will be doing fingerprinting on the 25th. Forms were sent home and need to be returned before students can be fingerprinted.
Mrs. Yakel's Senior English class has worked hard on a True Crime unit where students selected an unsolved crime of their choice. Each student had the opportunity to play detective and dig into theories pertaining to their selected crime. After conducting extensive research, students wrote a research paper presenting information about the crime. Finally, they constructed a mini crime scene to present to their classmates that depicts the crime's most important aspects. This hands-on project combined critical thinking, research skills, and creativity. Great work, seniors. #PAWSitiveThings #SeniorEnglish #HandsOnLearning
Mrs. Bandy’s 7th Grade Science class is digging into Natural Resources and Human Impact!
Today, students put their skills to the test with a hands-on lab where they had to carefully extract “resources” by mining chocolate chip cookies. They quickly discovered that mining isn’t as easy as it looks — and that protecting the environment while gathering resources takes planning, patience, and responsibility!
Learning + chocolate = a sweet day in science!
