This is a reminder: 8th-grade girls volleyball begins after school today.
At this time I would like to recognize and congratulate three eighth-grade students here at Powell. Among 24 middle and high school students, these young ladies entered their writing into the Littleton Optimist Club's International Essay Contest this January and won first, second, and third place. I don't know that students from a single school have ever won all three awards in this essay contest before, which makes their accomplishments all the more impressive. Please join me in celebrating these Powell students:
Winning third place and $125, Addie Fortin
Winning second place and $250, Chloe Arnold
And winning first place, $500 dollars, and a chance at a $2500 scholarship in the next rounds of the contest, Kimber Burton.
Well done with your powerful and optimistic words, ladies! We are very proud of you!
This Friday is our annual movie night! Bring your family and friends and enjoy a night in, watching “Rise” on the big screen. Be sure to turn in those CORE cards in order to have a chance at winning VIP seats and benefits. There is a special collection box for these in the main office. Remember, doors open at 5:30 and the movie begins at 5:45. We can’t wait to see you there!
Attention NJHS Members:
