Howe Public Schools kicked off its 120th year today! Howe Schools was established in 1904. Yes, you read that right -- before statehood! This year's district-wide theme is, "Growing, Building, and Learning Together!" That's something HPS has been doing well for a really long time! Our staff reported back today, and our students start their first day of class on Thursday, August 17. Howe has seen growth each year for the past 25 years, and this year is no different. We will be welcoming 695 PK-12th grade students on Thursday, this is our biggest enrollment in school history! This number is a testament to the wonderful things that are happening at Howe Public Schools. This morning, many of our staff members were recognized for their continuous years of service with VISA card rewards. There will be several individual posts on each level of recognition coming soon. The Professional Development activities today were focused on, “How to effectively “grow” positive relationships with the students we serve.” The instructional staff enjoyed a ride on the schools’ new charter bus, donated by Ronny and Brenda Blake. The extended Blake family are at the heart of our theme this year, and have been instrumental in “growing and building” and providing for our students’ and staff’s needs is so many ways. We are so very appreciative of their support! This morning, our staff also enjoyed a team-building activity and a panel talk from four of our staff members focusing on “growing and cultivating” positive relationships. It has been a great day to be a Howe Lion, and we cannot wait to welcome back our students on Thursday! Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow’s Open House/Back To School Night from 5-8 pm. We look forward to seeing you then! #HPSLions
