Howard Elementary School held its annual yard sale recently. The annual sale at the school started about three years ago, based on the community-wide yard sale date. This year, students collected donations throughout the week before the sale, which was held in front of the school. Items donated by students, faculty, staff and community members included books, games, supplies, household items, antiques, baked goods. The sale raised more than $600 toward the school’s Make-A-Wish Foundation campaign. The goal is to eventually collect enough money to provide one wish for someone — about $4,600. To help bolster donations, Principal Skip Pighetti said he plans to camp on the roof of the school if the the goal is met.
