8th grade students, Do you have great listening skills? Are you good at solving problems? Are you good at listening and helping others solve problems? Well then you should consider becoming a Student Ambassador! Student Ambassadors are 8th grade student who help other students figure out a solution to an issue or a conflict that has risen between two (or more) other students in a peaceful manner and looks to make sure that all voices in the conflict are heard. So, if this sounds like you, please pick up a purple application located on Mr. Chavers door. Applications are due this Friday, August, 30th. Please turn them in to either Mr.Chavers or Mrs. Durbin in the attendance office. Thanks for your attention and good luck to all of you that are applying!
Looking for something to do on Friday, September 6th? Grab your friends and family and join us at Powell for our 4th annual community kickball tournament. Watch or play in the kickball tournament, play lawn games, or get your fresh tacos and shaved ice from the food trucks. Pizza will also be served for $1.00 per slice. Packets to sign up your team for the kickball tournament can be found with Ms. Durbin in the attendance office. There is a limited number of teams that can participate in the tournament. Therefore the first 18 teams to return their completed sign up packets will be entered to compete. However, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this event. Don’t miss it!!

It should only take about 10 minutes to join the classroom and take the questionnaire. Students who complete the questionnaire by Tuesday, September 3rd will be entered into a drawing for a gift card.
