Cochran's Crossing Concerns
As the weather gets warmer, we see more families walking/biking to school. Walker/Biker dismissal is in place for families that do not qualify for bus service, which means they live within 1 mile of the school. I continue to receive messages from concerned neighbors in the Cochran's Green neighborhood about Powell families that are illegally parking in the neighborhood at dismissal time. They report parents parking in driveways, blocking driveways and blocking the street. Safety is always our number one concern, but we also want to be respectful of our neighbors. Powell families should not park along the street or in other people's driveways and have their children walk to them after school. If you are driving to pick up your child as a walker, then they are not a walker. They should be a car rider. We ask for your help in this matter. Please be respectful of our neighbors and obey all traffic laws. Like Mister Rogers, please be a good neighbor. Thank you for your help with these concerns!
Philanthrapy Project
We had many great organizations nominated for Powell's philanthropy project. This year's winning organization is Gigi's Playhouse. Gigi's Playhouse is an organization that provides a variety of programs for individuals with down syndrome. For more information about Gigi's Playhouse, click here. We will host our 2nd annual Penny Wars April 3-6 to raise money for this special project! We have updated a few of our "rules" for this year's war. Please see the image below for details. We can not wait to have fun and raise money for this great cause!
