Message from the Principal

Good afternoon Powell Puma Families,

We had another wonderful week at Powell! As we wrap up our second week of school, it has been exciting to see our students settling into routines, building relationships, and diving deeper into learning. Our classrooms and hallways continue to be filled with energy, curiosity, and so many examples of our Pumas showing what it means to put K.I.D.S. First!

As a reminder, we are heading into a four-day weekend. There will be no school Friday, September 4 through Monday, September 7, and we look forward to welcoming our Pumas back on Tuesday, September 8.

We hope all of our Powell families enjoy the extended weekend and have an opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend time together. Thank you for helping us make the start of this school year such a positive one. We can’t wait for another great week ahead!

Warmly,

Catherine Han
Principal
