There is no school for students on Friday, August 30 and Monday, September 2, 2019. Enjoy the holiday!
We are thrilled to bring back the PTA-sponsored Boosterthon which will culminate in a Puma Fun Run on September 12. This will be an event our students truly enjoy! Our goal for this year’s Puma Fun Run is to raise $35,000! Last year the Puma Fun Run raised just over $30,000 providing the opportunity for Powell ES to pilot FCPSOn providing 1:1 access to a laptop for all of our 4th grade students.
Raising $35,000 this year through the Puma Fun Run will increase access to technology for all of our Powell ES students! We thank you in advance for your support!
