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.
