Howe Public Schools

A Huge Thank You to the Blake Family!

We want to extend our deepest appreciation to the Blake Family for their tremendous support and hard work over the past couple of weeks. They have assisted with cleaning and organizing the upper elementary/gym parking lot, placing new parking curbs, and helping organize building materials for the high school construction project.

In addition, they are providing invaluable assistance on the development of the new road off Lion Street—an improvement that will greatly enhance our pick-up line and make ballgame entry smoother and safer for everyone.

The Blakes continually step up for Howe Public Schools, often providing equipment, materials, labor—or all of the above—whenever there is a need. Their ongoing commitment makes a meaningful difference and helps us create a better, safer, and more welcoming environment for our students, staff, and families.

Thank you, Blake Family, for your unwavering support and generosity. We appreciate you more than words can say! #HPSLions

As part of our OCLSD grant we were able to purchase backpacks and board books to send home on a bi-weekly basis with our 3YO and PK students. Along with the backpacks and books, there were papers that had suggests of ideas for parents to help build a love for books and increase early literacy skills at an early age. A new book and ideas will go home with these students every two weeks. Great things are happening at Howe Schools.
