💗 Pep Club Gives Back 💗
Our Pep Club proudly presented a check to Pink Lights the Way, a nonprofit founded by Howland’s own Megan Schellhorn and Shannon Styer after their personal journeys as breast cancer survivors. The organization provides emotional and practical support to patients through care packages, mentorship and encouragement.
This cause is especially meaningful to our school community. School Resource Officer Stephanie Slusher received support from Pink Lights the Way during her own breast cancer treatment and now gives back by helping raise awareness and support for others.
During football season, our Pep Club and student section sold pink shirts to support this mission. Thanks to their efforts and the generosity of our fans, $1,670 was raised to support Pink Lights the Way!

Our Howland High School Safety, Health & Wellness group is hard at work making a difference. They're adding encouraging messages to the windows in the U and creating posters in support of Teen Dating & Relationship Violence Awareness Month this February.
Take a look at what happened during last week's Wellness Wednesday at Howland High School!
Our students were passing a ball with their feet while jamming to 80’s music! Movement, music and plenty of laughs made for a great midweek break. 🎶⚽️

As part of Personal Wellness Fabulous Friday, students enjoyed a hands-on creative activity by making homemade cinnamon applesauce ornaments. A fun way to connect and celebrate the season!
Students in Mary Lynn Dieter’s College Credit Plus Spanish and Intro to Spanish 1 classes, along with Matt Saborse’s CCP Italian students, took field trips to Añejo Mexican Restaurant & Cantina and Salvatore’s Italian Grill to celebrate the end of a successful semester with culturally themed lunches. It was an excellent real-world application of language learning!
Students in Lisa Allison’s Honors Anatomy & Physiology class took a hands-on approach to learning as they worked with the human body skeleton during lab.
