Powell Parents, due to an incredible response to our Valentine’s Sweetgrams, delivery has been moved to Monday. Our volunteers are working hard to ensure every student gets theirs! We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.

Powell Parents, just a reminder that we do have school this Monday, February 16. We invite our students to wear their favorite pajamas and be ready to learn. See you Monday morning!

Last chance for Sweetgrams! Today is the last day to purchase Sweetgrams by using this link: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/sweetgrams. Whether you paid via Zeffy or cash, we MUST have your physical order form turned in tomorrow by 9am to guarantee delivery. Without the form, we don't know who the "sweet surprise" is for.
Thank you for helping us make this a success!

Powell Parents, Monday we will have our very first Crochet Club meeting! We are inviting parents and any 4th and 5th grade students to join us from 3:30 to 5:00 pm in the Powell Cafeteria who are interested in learning to crochet. Our Student Ambassadors have been practicing and they will be assisting first time learners while we discover the joys of crochet together! Parents are welcome to bring their children as long as they stay with you. 4th and 5th grade students need to be picked up after the meeting and will be sent home with a form to dictate how they will be released for subsequent meetings. Materials will be provided for parents and 4th and 5th grade students only. Feel free to call Mrs. Wheaton in the office with questions.
