Peter Howell Elementary School

Yesterday, our Kinder students had small celebrations in their classrooms to celebrate completing their Kindergarten year and moving into 1st Grade! 🎉 The celebration was made complete with families, pictures from the year, certificates, learning what each child wants to be when they grow up (we have a lot of future teachers! 📚✏️🍎), and a sprinkle of 1st Grade dust for each student!

We can't wait to welcome you all back in August and continue this learning journey together! Have a great summer!

Just taking time to celebrate our amazing our 2026 OMA Jamboree; it was a resounding success! Our event took place, Friday, May 8th, but we're still thinking about it! We have such pride in being an OMA Gold school. Our Jamboree is the culmination of the hard work and dedication of many throughout the entire school year.

Ms. Kolmer- our Arts Integration Specialist, the Jamboree Committee, our OMA artists, classroom teachers, and volunteer parents work tirelessly to organize an event that showcases each grade level's focus, displays their visual arts, and brings us together to celebrate as a community.

In addition to our opera, instrumental, dance, and theatrical performances, we display the visual art pieces students have created throughout the year, have an interactive art creating experience with Ms. Howard, and bring in food trucks for our families to enjoy.

The success of our highly celebrated OMA program is built from the dedication of all those deeply involved, as well as tax credit donations. Our OMA Program is funded significantly by tax credit. Please consider giving a tax credit donation or sharing the opportunity to others you know to donate to our school. Every donation, large or small, creates an opportunity for our students to delve deeper into the arts!

Again, thank you to all of those involved in a celebratory night that honors our learning!
