Wednesday - March 17th
March brings Women’s History Month and we will be recognizing a special woman each day during our announcements. Today we are recognizing:
Jane Goodall
British ethologist, Jane Goodall, is known for her exceptionally detailed and long-term research on the chimpanzees of Tanzania. Over the years Goodall was able to correct a number of misunderstandings about chimpanzees. She found, for example, that the animals are omnivorous, not vegetarian; that they are capable of making and using tools; and, in short, that they have a set of hitherto unrecognized complex and highly developed social behaviors. Goodall wrote a number of books and articles about various aspects of her work. Goodall continued to write and lecture about environmental and conservation issues into the early 21st century. In 2002 she became a UN Messenger of Peace.
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!
