What an exciting night at Howitt Middle School. The PTA’s Family Fun Night pitted staff against students in a friendly competition, and the students clinched the victory with a score of 25-23! Everyone had a blast with relay races, free-throw contests, musical chairs, and brain teasers.

HUGE thank you to everyone who came out, and a special shout-out to our incredible Howitt staff for always supporting the PTA!

First-graders in Ms. Sardone's class had a terrific start to Woodward Parkways "Week of Thanks" with reading The Gratitude Jar by Katrina Liu.

This beautiful story highlights the importance of being grateful for what you have and the people around you. Each student shared one special thing and wrote it on a colorful strip for the classroom Gratitude Jar. Ms. Sardone will read these messages of gratitude throughout the year to help build happiness and unity in the classroom.
