A Fantastic Friday at HOW! Celebrating our 3rd graders for improving their Facts On Fire multiplication and division facts, PreK students ready to learn, and students engaged in learning across classrooms. Friday was made even better with our visit from the Red GOAT Cafe coffee cart! We are proud of our scholars!







HOW's Kinder graduation is coming soon.....

Rugby’s Week at a Glance… with a little twist! 🐾💙
Our favorite school pup had a quick procedure this week, so he’s currently rocking the cone life and taking it easy. While he’s not making his usual rounds, we’re happy to report he is healthy, doing great, and getting lots of extra love and snuggles!
Rugby definitely misses seeing all of his friends in the halls, but don’t worry—he’ll be back to greeting everyone and spreading smiles very soon. Until then, enjoy these adorable “cone of shame” moments! 🐶✨
We love you, Rugby! 💙

Today at HOW we proudly wore purple to honor and support our military children! 💜
April is the Month of the Military Child, and “Purple Up Day” is a special time across the nation to recognize the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of our military-connected students. Purple represents all branches of the military coming together as one.
We are so proud of our students and families who serve and sacrifice for our country. Thank you for your courage, flexibility, and strength—you are seen, appreciated, and celebrated today and every day! 💜🇺🇸

Our Kindergarteners had the BEST day exploring the Mayborn Museum!
From hands-on exhibits to discovering new and exciting things, our little learners were fully engaged and full of curiosity all day long. Experiences like this bring learning to life in the most meaningful way, and we couldn’t be more proud of how our students represented our school!
