Welcome to Mrs. McCabe's Elementary School Counselor Blog

Hi everybody! This blog is dedicated to kids, parents, teachers, and community members. I will be using this blog to showcase what we are doing to promote good character at school, to provide information and support tools for parents and students, and to keep our community informed about the latest events and activities going on at school when it comes to the guidance department. Enjoy!

Character Counts Week and Supporting our Soliders!!!


Character Counts Citizenship Project

The Character Counts project we will participate in during Character Counts week is, “Supplies and Snacks for Soldiers, Howard-Winneshiek Cares”

Through this project the students are asked to please bring in tasty snack foods and/or toiletries for our soldiers overseas and residents of the Veterans homes located in Marshalltown and Des Moines, Iowa. These items are to be dropped off at your local elementary school Crestwood, Lime Springs, Elma. There will be a snack donation box at each Elementary Howard-Winneshiek School building.  The drop off date begins on October 22nd and runs through October 26th.

The local VFW chapter in Cresco will receive the snacks and toiletries that we have collected, and will sort and mail them to our soldiers this year. Thank you VFW!!!!!!
