Reminders:

• Starting Monday next week we start our annual bottle and can collection as one of our activities for Green Schools! Recycling bottles and cans is a simple way we can help the environment.

  When you donate the bottles and cans to Howard School, you are also helping us beautify our building. We will be using the money to purchase flowers and flower bulbs for outside our entryway and flowerbeds.

  Please remember to only bring in plastic bottles or aluminum cans and bottles that can be returned for 10 cents. No Glass! Please also remember to rinse out the containers so they are not sticky. We will continue our collection for 3 weeks.

  Thank you for helping keep Howard School beautiful and green!

• Howard will be having a Kindergarten Round-Up Thursday, April 27 at 6:00. If you know anyone coming to Kindergarten next year, please let them know.

Have a great week!
