Greetings! We have the pleasure of announcing that Powell Middle School will be putting on a school play, Gallery by Richard Stuart Dixon, this upcoming spring semester. The game plan is to begin rehearsing in early February and to have three performances after Spring Break. With that in mind, auditions will be held at the end of January, so start preparing a one-minute, memorized, comedic monologue! If you’re interested, see Mr. Kelley in room 1039 for more details.

The 8th Grade Girls Basketball Teams took on Goddard last night in the district semi finals.

The A-Team played its best game of the year, beating the Vikings 33 to 6. Amazing ball movement and tough defense led to the decisive win. The best part? Every single player on the roster scored! The A-team will take on Euclid in the championship game on Saturday at Euclid.

The B-team also had to play Goddard's A-team due to a player shortage and unfortunately lost. The B-team will also wrap up the season on Saturday in the tournament at Euclid.

December’s Sources of Strength campaign focuses on the idea of generosity. The act of generosity is defined by Merriam-Webster as: characterized by nobel or kindly spirit; liberal in giving; and an abundance or ample proportions. Other words for generosity include: big hearted, bountiful, charitable, unselfish, and unsparing.

Please join us in being kind to one another through generous acts. Be on the lookout for generosity calendars around the building for suggestions on acts of generosity. Have a wonderful and GENEROUS December!
