Howard Holiday Helpers (formerly 'Project Care') is a program designed for Howard families to spread holiday cheer by supporting those families who need a little extra love during the holiday season.  This program is designed to support Howard families with financial need by providing gifts for their children at Christmas. With monetary donations from our Howard families, representatives from the PTO purchase needed clothing and an education toy for each participating child. The items are given to the families to wrap and present to their children at Christmas.

Families wishing to support this effort through giving can Venmo @Howard-AH-PTO and put "Howard Holiday Helpers" on the memo line, or make an online contribution following the link below. Though any amount is appreciated, $75.00 supports one child with needed clothing and an educational gift. 

If you are interested in volunteering your time for project care, please contact Bess Swanter and Kate Edwards.

Thank you for your support in this project.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Howard Staff at 210.832.5900.

The Giving Tree

 During the month of December, Howard focuses on the character traits of compassion (using our feeling hearts) and generosity (using our helping hands). In order to make these concepts concrete for the students we work with the school to co-sponsor The Giving Tree at Howard. Through this project students have the opportunity to purchase gifts to be donated to a needy organization in our Alamo Heights community. 

If you are interested in volunteering your time for Giving Tree, please contact Ashley Brownlee.
