Eagle Scout and Howe alumni Mason McBride presented an amazing plan to paint the blacktop area.  The addition of 7 games including basketball courts, reinstating the US Map, four square, a trackway, copy me (like dance-dance revolution); hopscotch, and a sensory pathway will greatly improve recess on the blacktop for all students! 

Mason is raising funds for materials. Please see the following Gofundme link if you are interested in contributing: Revamping Howe Elementary Black Top (* as of January 10th, 2025 $1,600 was raised).

The project will be completed by next fall.
