What an exciting night at Howitt Middle School. The PTA’s Family Fun Night pitted staff against students in a friendly competition, and the students clinched the victory with a score of 25-23! Everyone had a blast with relay races, free-throw contests, musical chairs, and brain teasers.

HUGE thank you to everyone who came out, and a special shout-out to our incredible Howitt staff for always supporting the PTA!
