Every year the same rumor sweeps through Howe. It's the rumor that this will be the year that high school students are able to wear shorts to school. Well, the rumor once again was dispelled at the monthly school board meeting last week when the board discussed the updates to the student handbook and made sure the dress code was clear and stipulated no shorts. One clarification had to be added so that males could not wear capri pants. Not that it was an issue at Howe prior, but it was an issue that the new high school principal had at his previous school.

Future Lady Bulldogs learn volleyball skills

Two sets of volleyball camps took place last week. It was a morning session for the youth players and an afternoon camp for middle school through varsity. The day might have been very long for Howe Volleyball Head Coach Meghan Litchfield but she says it was well worth seeing all of the improvement from the younger players.

"With their youth league experience, the girls that came back from last year had already improved tremendously," said Litchfield.

Some varsity seniors helped out in the coaching at the youth camp and Litchfield said they loved being there with the younger campers.

"Seeing the excitement that the little girls have towards volleyball was the best part of the camp for me personally," said Litchfield. She's excited about the fourth and sixth-grade classes in particular which showed great improvement from a year ago.

The middle and high school camp went well and Litchfield is excited about a lot of returning seniors for the upcoming season.
