HPS Team,
Well, it's certainly fun to start Homecoming week after a dramatic win over Brighton. Congratulations to our student-athletes who demonstrated big hearts on Friday evening. We kick off our Homecoming week district-wide with Spirit Week, beginning today. For a complete list of the week's activities, click here. I look forward to celebrating with all of you.
In the spirit of the community coming together for Homecoming, I wanted to share a few additional community events happening this week. Each event supports a unique need in the community and truly demonstrate the #OneHowell spirit.
HHS Interact - Ribbon Warriors Beneficiary Application
One of the events that will take place this week at the HHS Pep Assembly is the annual Ribbon Warriors fundraiser. This is organized by our HHS Interact Club and the proceeds go directly to support a local Howell family impacted by cancer. To nominate a family, please complete this application and return it by October 27.
Documentary Raises Funds for Rare Terminal Disease
One of our Highlander families, the DeWitts, will host a screening of the documentary, The Ataxian, on Sunday, October 8 at 2:00 p.m. at the Howell Theatre. Jack DeWitt, son of Lee and Ruth DeWitt, has been diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) - a
debilitating, life-shortening disease that currently has no treatment or cure. Jack is currently a senior at HHS. For more information on the screening, click here. To view the press release, click here.
Tour de Livingston
The Tour de Livingston bike ride on October 8, 2017 is a great family friendly community event for all ages, providing an opportunity for bike riders of all skill levels and families with children to enjoy outstanding fall colors.
NEW THIS YEAR: A family-friendly ride, offering various distance routes beginning and ending in Island Lake Park. There will also be a Kid’s Zone, sponsored by HPS, with various activities for young children. Registration, breakfast and lunch take place at Mt. Brighton.
All proceeds from this event help to: bridge the gap for local hardworking families struggling to meet their most basic needs; prepare every child to be ready for success; and build a healthy community for all residents via the Livingston County United Way. Participating in the 10th Annual Tour de Livingston is a great way to make a positive impact on our local community. Click here for more information and to register for the event.
As we come together to celebrate this week, let's remember the power of our community to make a difference in the lives of others. Have a great Homecoming week!
