If you are unable to donate, please consider taking part in the generosity campaign by taking a sticky from one of the posters around the school and sharing it with a friend, a classmate, a staff member, or a stranger. Random acts of kindness and generosity are always appreciated and they make you feel good too! Have a great day!

Baylie Buckmelter showed composure and grit as she played the majority of the game in foul trouble. Esme Counter and Sami Engelland are two of the toughest defenders you will find in all of LPS. Great game ladies!

Our B team played a tough Combined A/B team and came up 2 points short of a victory. They showed teamwork,hustle and sportsmanship the entire game and deserve a huge congratulations for their performance. Our B team also finished the regular season as the number 1 seed and look to take home the championship next week!

"The district wrestling tournament was held at Newton Middle School yesterday, and a huge thanks to all the Powel Students that came to support us! We had lots of fans in the stand for an amazing exhibition of courage and dedication from YOUR Puma wrestling team. Unfortunately, our varsity squad came up just four points short and earned second place to a very talented Goddard team. Each and every one of our wrestlers deserves a great round of applause though, as they all battled like warriors to the last moment.

For individual results: Jacob Files, Dylan Comstock, and Sawyer Gostenik finished in 4th place.
Noah Endlich, Eli Seick, and Cooper Matney finished in 3rd place.
Dave Pierce, Alex Diggins, Charlie Turner, Fletcher Farley, Cam Carnes, and Weston Sprague all finished in second place.
Finally, Easton Calvin, Azzo Estes, Jack Forbes, Kaiden Vaughn, and Maddox Mangers are all 2022 Littleton Public Schools District Wrestling Champions.

That means we had 11 different wrestlers competing in the finals last night! It was one heck of a tournament and our team comported themselves with great sportsmanship and furious effort. We are proud of our whole team!"

We won six matches last night and only lost three. Winners by points were Grayson Ferrigno, Jackson Harvey, and Blake Matney. Winners by pin were Brooks Harvey, Corbin Weil, and Eli Seik. Coaches Ennis and Sprague are very proud of each and every wrestler on our team. Look out LPS, we have a solid nucleus of beasts for the next TWO seasons. Sixth and seventh graders, will you join us next year? Are you tough enough to step on a wrestling mat?

Congratulations to Powell’s 7th grade girls basketball team for their games against Goddard last night! The A team won 44 to 9!
