Peter Howell Elementary School

Be sure to set up your ParentSquare account today. We will be communicating everything from our welcome letter, which informs you of your child’s teacher for the 2026-2027 school year, to weekly newsletters from teachers.

Last week, students in grades 2-5 had their Career Day! Volunteers came in and shared all about their careers; how to acquire them, how to be successful in them, and some of the challenges they face. They brought in videos, art, samples, robots, uniforms, and other interactive pieces they knew would help engage students.

The many careers represented and learned about were firefighter, mining engineer, engineer works at Raytheon, software engineer, ceramics artist, U Of A police officer and her therapy dog, nail artist, paralegal, musician, and YouTuber and crossing guard.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, and Ms. Bednar who make career day a fun-filled and inspiring learning day for our campus!

We kicked off the week with our Monday Morning Assembly.

First, we recognized our weekly winners. Our Library Leaders were Mrs. Jolly's Kindergarten class. Our Glowing Gardeners were BOTH Ms. Patterson's and Ms. Sartori's 5th grade classes. 1st Grade once again were our Playground Prodigies and 4th Grade were our Legendary Lunchers! Thanks for setting great examples during our last month of school!

Next we celebrated our Hawks of the Month. Each teacher selected one to two students that have been "Soaring with 4" and showing growth in class.

Finally, we ended by recognizing our two new Ben's Bell recipients. Ms. Chacon and our 2nd grade recipient will both nominate new people next week.

Let's Soar with 4 all week long!
