Kindergarten students in Mrs. Hintz’s class at Powhatan Elementary focused on building early math and money skills last week as they learned to identify coins and understand their value. Through hands-on activities and practice, students worked on recognizing different coins and connecting them to their worth as they built real-world learning skills.

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.

Detective Hylton and Detective Joyner from the Powhatan Sheriff’s Office recently led cybersecurity assemblies for fifth graders at all three elementary schools focused on digital safety and online behavior. The sessions aimed to help students navigate the digital world securely by teaching them to protect their personal information and critically evaluate the content they see online. The detectives covered a wide range of vital topics, including cyberbullying, the realities of artificial intelligence (AI), identity theft, and social media behavior and security. A common thread ran through all of the topics – being careful about what they share because the internet is forever.
