Even as the end of the school year quickly approaches, we know we have some great moments from earlier this semester that we haven’t shared yet, including this creative project from Powhatan High School. Students in Mrs. McManus’ adaptive art class drew inspiration from Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night as they created their own mixed media villages featuring some of their favorite places. The project gave students the opportunity to explore creativity while experimenting with different artistic techniques and materials.

Powhatan Elementary School wrapped up the Kids Heart Challenge at the end of April with a rescheduled special awards ceremony. During American Heart Month in February, the school highlighted the importance of taking care of their hearts by being physically active every day, eating fruits and vegetables, sleeping at least 10 hours at night, and staying away from smoke. They also learned the warning signs of a stroke, practiced how to do hands-only CPR, and completed several cardiovascular activities.
During the awards ceremony, the students from each grade level with the highest fundraising totals got the opportunity to push a pie in the face of brave staff members. In total, 99 students registered for the challenge, raising $16,373.13 for the American Heart Association. In addition, 33 families learned hands-only CPR, and all students K-5 learned hands-only CPR in class. A big thank you to Savanah Beatley, school engagement director for the American Heart Association, for joining the celebration.

First grade students in Ms. Madden’s class at Pocahontas Elementary recently embraced the role of author as they created their own fairytales. As part of the writing process, students shared their stories with classmates, using feedback to revise before completing their final copies. Each story included key literary elements like a beginning, middle, and end, along with new vocabulary, illustrations, and a focus on grammar, capitalization, and punctuation.

We want to once again congratulate Paula Duncan on being recognized as a Virginia Teacher of the Year finalist. Representing Powhatan County Public Schools at the state level is an incredible accomplishment, and we are so proud of the impact she continues to make on students and education.

She had the opportunity to meet Governor Abigail Spanberger, First Gentleman Adam Spanberger, Secretary of Education Jeffery Smith, and Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction Lisa Coons during the recognition event celebrating educators from across the Commonwealth.

Powhatan High School celebrated Career and Workforce Development Signing Day last week to recognize students as they took the next step toward their futures. Fifteen students signed letters of intent across a variety of fields, including electricity, building trades, agriculture mechanics and fabrication, cosmetology, and JROTC. Some students committed directly to employers, while others signed with universities as part of their continued education and service plans. The event highlighted the meaningful connections students have built with employers and postsecondary opportunities as they prepare for life after graduation. PHS was also excited to welcome alumnus Nathan Poe, Class of 2019, as this year’s guest speaker. Congratulations to all of the students recognized during this special event.

Teacher Appreciation Week is underway, and we are so excited to see and hear about the treats planned by our schools and parent groups to highlight the people who make our schools such special places. Knowing this week would be slammed, our Human Resources team hosted staff appreciation lunches across the division in April, treating the staff at each school along with Transportation and the Pocahontas Landmark Center. It was a small way to recognize the big impact our teachers and staff have every day. This week, we’ll be sharing photos from those visits, starting with Powhatan Middle School. We invite our community to join us in showing appreciation throughout the week.

Powhatan High School’s Culinary program includes a critical component called Bailey’s Café. Usually offered twice a week in late spring, every culinary class plays a role in making it happen, whether preparing food in advance or helping run the café when it is open. Pictured here, you can see Culinary 1 students cooking for and serving staff members their delicious lunches earlier this semester. Led by Mr. Robertson, the café offers students the chance to build skills in food preparation, teamwork, and customer service. Through experiences like Bailey’s Café, students can apply their learning in a real-world setting while developing skills they can carry with them beyond the classroom.
