May Howard Elementary

🎉💙💛 FIRST WEEK = ROCKED! 💛💙🎉

Well, May Howard… WE DID IT! 🙌 The first week of school is officially in the books, and somehow we are all still standing! 😂

Were there a few kinks to work out? Of course. A little controlled chaos? Perhaps. 😜 A whole lot of “Where are you supposed to be?” and “What’s your car rider number?” ABSOLUTELY. 😂 But that’s what the first week is all about!

Our amazing administration stepped up, jumped in wherever they were needed, problem-solved on the fly, and kept this big ol’ Hawk nest moving in the right direction. 🦅 Our teachers and staff rolled with the changes, helped one another, loved on our kids, and handled every little first-week adventure that came our way.

And our HAWKS? Just look at these sweet faces! 💙💛 They learned new routines, found their classrooms, made new friends, figured out lunch and dismissal, and reminded us exactly why we do what we do.

We worked out the kinks. We laughed. We adjusted. We probably hit our step goals before lunchtime. 😂 And most importantly, we took care of our kids and each other.

Week One: DONE. May Howard Elementary: ROCKED IT. 🦅💙💛

💙💛 By Friday of the first week back, caffeine and treats aren’t just appreciated… they’re practically school supplies! 😂

A huge thank you to our amazing May Howard Elementary PTA for making the rounds today delivering treats and drinks to every staff member. Your thoughtfulness came at the perfect time and made our Friday even sweeter. Thank you for keeping us fueled, smiling, and feeling so appreciated. We are so grateful for all you do for our May Howard family! 💙💛

🎉 May Howard Alumni Spotlight! 💙💛

We love celebrating our Hawks long after they leave our halls!

A big congratulations to Andrew Davis and Jackson Tripp, two outstanding May Howard Elementary alumni, who were recently featured at SCCPSS Football Media Day representing Islands High School.

Andrew and Jackson have grown into exceptional young men who lead by example—both on and off the field. Their hard work, character, and leadership make our entire community proud, and they are wonderful role models for our current Hawks.

As football season kicks off, let’s come together and support our community’s team! There’s nothing quite like the excitement of Friday Night Lights, and we’d love to see our May Howard families cheering on the Sharks this season.

Congratulations, Andrew and Jackson! Your May Howard family is proud of you, and we can’t wait to watch all you’ll accomplish during your senior year.

🏈💙 Go Sharks… and always Go Hawks! 💙💛
