Flapjacks and flannel made for a special treat for staff earlier this month at Powhatan Middle School! 🥞🧣 The staff organized an underground flannel day—no heads up for the students, just a fun, unexpected twist! Staff got to swing by during lunch to grab some fresh flapjacks and build their own creations at a toppings bar provided courtesy of the Sunshine Committee. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Powhatan Elementary’s Kids Heart Challenge Awards Assembly whipped students and staff into a frenzy earlier this month in the climax to American Heart Month in February! 🧡 From jump rope challenges to learning about heart health and CPR, students went above and beyond leading up to this event. Their reward was seeing some of their beloved faculty and staff members get a face full of whipped cream courtesy of some of their classmates. A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated and helped POWES raise $14,555 for the American Heart Association! 🙌🎉 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

🌵💖 At Flat Rock Elementary, Mrs. Dewey's second graders recently focused on learning about kindness and creativity in the library! 📚 They read "Nobody Hugs a Cactus" by Carter Goodrich and made their own heart-themed cacti. 💚🧡 One student shared a thoughtful insight: “You don’t hug them in real life. Not because you don’t like them, but they are prickly.” What a perfect way to remind us that kindness comes in all forms, even when things feel a little prickly! 🌵 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Mr. Hall’s students at Powhatan High School got creative with their pitches when they participated in an Industrial Revolution Shark Tank activity! 🦈 They worked in teams to research and pitch “innovative ideas” from the past—like steel skyscrapers and the transcontinental railroad—just as if they were happening in real-time. One of the funniest moments? A team throwing shade at the telegraph while pitching their own invention – a candlestick telephone! 😆 It was a fun way to bring history to life with a little bit of drama! 💡📚 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

In February, our 8th graders at Powhatan Middle School worked through writing stations that brought the Harlem Renaissance to life. Students explored Langston Hughes' powerful poem "The Weary Blues" and learned about Harlem's rich history through the article "Welcome to Harlem" from Junior Scholastic. After reading and answering some thought-provoking questions, they wrote their own essays to reflect on it all. So proud of their hard work! ✍️ #wearepcps #teampowhatan
