🌸🌷 Happy May Day from the Little Tiger Paws PTO! 🌷🌸

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our May Day Basket fundraiser at Howard Elementary such a wonderful success! From those who donated, purchased baskets, helped organize, assemble, deliver, and supported us in any way — we truly appreciate each and every one of you.

Because of your generosity and community spirit, this fundraiser was filled with smiles, kindness, and excitement for our students, staff and families. It is always amazing to see our Howard community come together to support our children!

A very special thank you to Rusty’s Food Store for your generous donation and for helping make this year’s May Day baskets extra special for all of our elementary staff. Because of your kindness, every elementary staff member was also able to receive a May Day basket!

Thank you for helping us spread a little May Day cheer while also supporting the continued efforts of the Little Tiger Paws PTO. We couldn’t do it without you! 🩷💛

✨ BIG NEWS FOR LITTLE TIGER PAWS PTO! ✨

We are beyond excited to officially announce that Little Tiger Paws PTO is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization! 🎉🐾

This did not happen overnight.

This milestone represents countless hours of paperwork, research, meetings, phone calls, planning, dedication, and determination behind the scenes. So much hard work, time, and heart has gone into making this dream a reality because we believe our students, our school, and our community deserve BIG things. ❤️🖤🧡

Becoming a 501(c)(3) is such an important step forward for our PTO because it opens new doors and new opportunities for Howard Elementary.

✔️ It allows us to pursue grants✔️ It allows businesses and community members to make tax-deductible donations✔️ It gives us the ability to grow larger fundraising efforts✔️ And most importantly — it brings us one giant step closer to making our playground project a SUCCESS! 🛝

Our children deserve a safe, fun, updated playground where they can laugh, learn, play, and make memories for years to come — and now we are in a stronger position than ever to make that happen.

We are incredibly proud of the time and effort that has been invested to get us here, and we are so excited for what the future holds.

This is only the beginning. 💥

With your continued support, donations, encouragement, and community partnerships, we know we can accomplish amazing things for the children of Howard Elementary School.

Thank you for believing in our mission.Thank you for supporting our students.Thank you for being part of something bigger. 🐅🐾

Let’s build the playground our kids deserve — together! 🛝🧡
