Creek Week is the largest watershed-wide cleanup in the state of Colorado! During FCWD's 12th Annual Crek Week Cleanup, volunteers will remove litter along natural and urban spaces in the Fountain Creek Watershed and beyond. All ages and abilities are invited to join or create a Creek Week crew: individuals, families, businesses, clubs, schools, neighborhoods, you choose! Get outdoors, get active, and get busy creating positie change for your community and those living downstream.

The Cougars Care Corner Market is now open for the 2025-26 school year!

Greetings,

I would like to share this exciting opportunity to participate in the Cougars Care Corner Market at Coronado High School.

The Corner Market is a food distribution site partnered with Care and Share to help meet the tangible needs of the community.

Everything is FREE, you just take what you need and leave enough for others. Everyone in the community may come on Thursdays from 3:30 - 6:00PM.

The Corner Market supplies fruit, veggies, non-perishable goods, snacks, school supplies, toiletries, hygiene products, and clothing items.

The Corner Market serves our entire community, so please utilize it! Coronado’s Corner Market is meant to be a distribution site for all West Side schools (come to us for resources so you don’t have to go to Care and Share individually).

The staff and students at Howbert love to have volunteers at the school supporting learning. If you would like to volunteer, please speak with the classroom teacher or contact the front office to share with us how you would like to help.

One of the first steps all volunteers must take, is to complete the Colorado Springs School District 11 Volunteer Application.

It is best to complete the application prior to visiting the school to volunteer.

Below is the link that will take you directly to the online volunteer application.

If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Jo in the front office (719-328-4211).

Your Howbert Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has evolved from a PTA, which has been active since the 1980s and hosts many of the fun events that Howbert offers! We also facilitate the fundraising efforts for the school. With these we have provided such opportunities as:
-Family Game (BINGO) Nights
-Field Trips Supplies
-Tables & Shade Structures for outdoor classroom spaces
So much more! We are a relaxed organization that gladly welcomes all Howbert community members to join us for meetings, events, and volunteer opportunities. We highly encourage all parents and guardians to get involved at Howbert--it is so rewarding for your students and for YOU!
