Our next MathCounts meeting is tomorrow, Wednesday, March 15 in Mrs. Donda's room. You will have a chance to look at the questions from our competition back in February and talk through the solutions as well. See you then!

As you heard last week, Powell accepted the challenge of helping find a cure for blood cancers through our Pennies for Patients campaign. We are joining over 25,000 schools across the nation in this effort to raise as much money as we can for LLS. There are lots of CORE Plus classes already creating strategies, making alliances, and thinking outside the box to ensure they win the competition by the end of next week so start bringing in those pennies for your CORE Plus today!

Despite their best efforts and team spirit, all three of the 7th-grade girls' volleyball teams lost their matches against Euclid yesterday.
On the A team, Scarlet Segura was the all-around MVP with great overhand serves, accurate passes, and movement all over the court. Josie Winger also had good serves, lots of communication on the court, and played with high energy.
B team shoutouts to Kalhea (Kah-lee-ah) Jordan, Harriet Jewell, and Harper Corona for great serving! Kalhea also made many accurate passes and showed great awareness of play on the court!
Kalyhea (Kah-LAY-ah) Jordan was the star server of the C team, serving a total of 6 overall points. Alex Herndon moved about the court well.
We look forward to our next home match on Monday, March 20! Come cheer us on in the Powell gym!


Last night girls 8th-grade volleyball played Goddard.
A and B teams played 3 tough games, unfortunately ending in losses. A team's Jaya White's had many smart assists and Annie Barbour used her assertiveness to help out on the court. B team's Kate Murphy showed up with her control of the ball and Piper Wheeler dove all over the court.
C team kept the game tight with Casey Jervis' serves and Al Rivera's passing. They played hard til the end, also, unfortunately, ending in a loss.
The way these girls played is something to be proud of & these were great matches to see! Great job girls!
