Congratulations are in order to our Fall Student Council members. 🤗
Today marks the 23rd Annual Lights On Afterschool event! Launched over 20 years ago, Lights On Afterschool is the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs and their important role in the lives of children, families, and communities.
In honor of this event, Kids Inc. staff at all locations will be hosting celebrations throughout the next two weeks for students and families to participate in. Activities include talent shows, cookie decorating, pumpkin paintings, dance parties, art shows, scavenger hunts, and carnivals! These events are meant to bring awareness to the importance of quality after-school programs for kids.
Please help us say thank you to our Kids Inc. staff who play a MAJOR role in so many of our students' education journeys. We are incredibly thankful for each and every one of them for their dedication to the District and our students!
Oscar Howe Families, fall weather is here and our students got a feel for the cooler temperatures this morning. As a reminder, student will be outside unless temperatures fall below 0 degrees or there is inclement weather.
Students must wear a jacket if it is 59 degrees or colder. 60 degrees or above, no jacket needed. Please help encourage students to dress appropriately for the cooler weather.
We thank you for partnering with us to make sure students dress for success regardless of the weather. Please take a look at the picture below for a complete look at our Oscar Howe dress code policy as well.

Excuse us while we brag for a minute… Our Superintendent is pretty talented! Dr. Jane Stavem is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, trumpet player, French horn player, percussionist, xylophone player… oh, and she also plays harmonica! 😉 These talents, along with her deep love for all things Fine Arts, earned her the honor of Parade Marshal for Festival of Bands 2022! We are proud to be lead by someone who values the role extracurriculars play in “preparing each student to succeed in a changing world!”
