Thursday - March 18th
March brings Women’s History Month and we will be recognizing a special woman each day during our announcements. Today we are recognizing:
Temple Grandin
Dr. Temple Grandin is well known to many for her trailblazing work as a spokesperson for people with autism and her lifelong work with animal behavior.
Her life’s work has been to understand her own autistic mind, and to share that knowledge with the world, aiding in the treatment of individuals with the condition. Her understanding of the human mind has aided her in her work with animal behavior, and she is one of the most respected experts in both autism and animal behavior in the world.
Grandin has earned multiple degrees, written several books, given hundreds of speeches in her career, and has shared priceless insight into the way the autistic mind works. Grandin outlined the three different types of autistic ways of thinking, helping millions of people with her research and never-ending work.
Grandin shares her wealth of knowledge with her classes at CSU where she teaches the Graduate Animal Behavior and Welfare program and continues her research. She has no plans on stopping anytime soon.
6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students. If you are interested in going out for Soccer and/or Track and Field after school, after spring break, then please make sure to visit the Powell Website' Athletic's page. There you will find a link to sign up for Track & Field and Soccer for the remainder of the year. Both events will be intramural events (no games against other schools), will start the week of April 5th, will be after school from 4:00 pm-5:00 pm, and the seasons will run through the week of May 10th. Late buses won't run until the week of April 12th, so the first week you will need to have a ride home after practice. You don't need to have any experience in either sport to participate. Please fill out the form on the PMS website as soon as possible, and also pick up a participation emergency card during your lunch this week! Both the online form and the participation card need to be completed by Friday, April 2nd. We hope to see as many of you out there as we can the week of April 5th! Go Pumas!
