We invite our communities to participate in Project
Caring sponsored by District 2687 Howard Lake-WaverlyWinsted Schools and organized
by FFA students. Preschool
through grade 12 students
collect non-perishable food
items and cash donations
through December 13. The items
students collect are brought to
the High School and packed by
volunteers for families in our area
on December 20.
Local organizations and
individuals contribute to Project
Caring. If you would like to
donate nonperishable food items or cash to Project Caring
you may drop them off at any District 2687 school. Contact
Community Education at 320-543-4670 for additional
information.
HLWW Adult Volunteer Program
As we look forward to the 2016-2017 school year, we
also look forward to the help our volunteers will give us.
We have been fortunate in the past years to have been able
to utilize our volunteers and their knowledge to benefit
our students and staff. Many hours have been given to the
students and staff through our district’s volunteer program
in the past years and we appreciate it greatly.
If you are a parent and interested in volunteering, please
return the appropriate forms to your child’s schools so you
can become a volunteer after going through the volunteer
application process. If you are a community member and
would like to volunteer in our schools, you may go to the
school website and fill out the appropriate forms and send
them via mail to Pam Henry-Neaton, Humphrey Elementary
school, P.O.Box 248, Waverly, MN 55390 or email them to
Pam at [email protected] .
60+ and Healthy Clinics
The 60+ and Healthy Clinics provided by Wright County
Public Health provides foot care for the Senior Citizens
of Wright County. We trim toenails to meet the needs of
those seniors who have a health condition such as diabetes
or are unable to trim toenails
themselves. We will check blood
pressures if needed and as time
allows. The 60+ and Healthy
Clinics charges a $15 fee for foot
care services. This fee is necessary
because our clinics are no longer
being funded by grant money. However, if you are unable
to pay the $15 fee, you will not be turned away from our
clinic. If you have any questions, please ask clinic staff or call
Wright County Public Health at 1-800-362-3667 or 763-6827456.
If you are unable to attend, or miss a clinic in your area,
please feel free to attend a clinic in any of the communities.

Amberley Snyder has been riding since she was three
years old and competing in rodeo since she was seven.
Rodeo has always been her passion since her first run. In
January of 2010 Amberley was driving to the National
Western Stock Show in Colorado when she was involved
in a rollover car accident which left her paralyzed from
the waist down. Doctors told her she would never have
any chance of recovery and that her rodeo days were
over.
A year and a half later, she figured out how she could
barrel race once again using a seatbelt, Velcro and a strap
to hold her in place. She now travels the country as a
motivational speaker telling her story and encouraging
everyone to “Get Back on the horse.”

EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION
What is ECFE?
Early Childhood Family Education
ECFE is a place where families
with young children come together
to have fun learning and get to
know other families in the district.
Early Childhood Family Education
(ECFE) is available to all Howard
Lake-Waverly-Winsted families with
children between the ages of birth
to kindergarten entrance. ECFE is
staffed by licensed teachers and no
family is turned away for inability to
pay.
Early Childhood Family Education:
• Believes that parents are a child’s first and foremost
educator.
• Supports parents in their child raising effort.
• Offers information about child development and
alternative parenting techniques.
• Gives children opportunities to discover, play and learn.
• Promotes positive parental attitudes.
• Provides information on community resources available to
parents and children.
In a typical class,
families meet once a
week for approximately
90 minutes. Parents
and children spend
approximately 50 minutes
playing and learning
together. The final 40
minutes of class includes
time for parents to talk
with others about the
wonders and challenges
of parenting. This discussion time is facilitated by a Parent
Educator, while an Early Childhood teacher spends time
teaching the children. In other classes, parents and children
spend the entire time together and discussion between
parents is informal. Come join our classes and meet other
parents with young children in the HLWW communities.
Check out our ECFE web page under Community
Education on the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted School
District website.

Early Childhood Screening
The State of Minnesota requires all children
attending kindergarten in 2016-17 school year, to be
screened. Children attending preschool must also be
screened. HLWW schedules screenings for families with
young children throughout the school year.
Why is screening important?
Screening helps identify children who may benefit
from early childhood services before they enter school
and connects them with the appropriate resources and
programs. If your child has already been screened, he/she
does not need to be screened again.
Who needs to be screened?
The state of Minnesota requires
all 3½ to 4 year old children living in
the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted
District to be screened before entering
Kindergarten. Screening is most
valuable when completed before your
child turns four years old.
What is Early Childhood Screening?
Screening is a free check of your child’s vision, hearing,
height, weight and development, as well as a review of
her or his immunization records. Children are screened by
school district professionals. Your child will be assessed
in three important developmental areas: motor skills,
concepts, and communication skills. This is not an IQ test.
It does not rank children according to scores. The purpose
of screening is early detection of children’s development,
health, and other factors that may interfere with a child’s
learning, growth, and development.
How do I make an appointment?
Please contact Nicole, HLWW Health Assistant at 320543-4680 ext.3103 or email: [email protected]

Follow Along Program
Babies and young children grow and learn at their own rate. Some
children need special help to grow up healthy and learn skills such as
sitting, walking or talking. If this is true for your child, the Follow Along
Program can help you.
The Follow Along Program is:
• A good way to learn about your child’s health and
development.
• A fun way to get ideas about “what to teach” and “at
what age” to teach it.
• A simple way to ask questions about how your child
is hearing, moving, seeing, playing, talking, learning,
growing and acting .
• An easy way to find out about other services you may want in order
to select the right program for your child.
A professional, most often a nurse, may visit with you to tell you
more about the program and find out more about your child. To
refer a child, contact your local Public Health Agency or the MCYSHN
Information and Assistance Line at 1-800-728-5420. For information
on the Follow Along Program, contact the Program Coordinator at
651-201-3641.
