Ready, Set Soar! The Howard School Offers “Passport” to Kindergarten
Santa Barbara’s Only Carden-Based School Invites All Families with Kindergarten-Aged Children to Experience the Upcoming Journey First-Hand
Perhaps one of the most pivotal and exciting journeys in a child’s life starts with the voyage into Kindergarten. On January 30th, 2014, The Howard School will welcome families from Santa Barbara County to explore and get a first-hand glimpse into the marvelous adventure that begins with Kindergarten.
From 8:15am-10:00am, families with children entering Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten will have the opportunity to observe and participate in real school happenings. After a trip to Morning Assembly, families will travel to the classroom destination where they can engage in an array of activities, getting their “Passports” stamped at each station: Meet the Teacher, Live Teaching Demonstration, Art Projects, Beginning French, and Snack Time!
All prospective families will get a chance to meet one-and-only Mrs. Gonzales, the beloved superstar Kindergarten teacher at The Howard School. Likewise, Headmaster Joel Reed will be available and happy to answer any questions that parents — and little ones! — may have.
Every grade level will be open for touring, and current Howard School parents will be on-hand to offer more insight and answer any inquiries.
