The Cougars Care Corner Market is now open for the 2024-2025 school year!

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 may come on Thursdays from 3:00 - 6:00 when the Corner Market is open to the community.

The Corner Market supplies fruit, veggies*, non-perishable goods, snacks, school supplies, toiletries, hygiene products, clothing items, etc. when available.

*We have a limited amount of fresh produce but will supply what we can.

The Corner Market serves our entire community, so please utilize it!

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).
