Mrs. Mathe's Message
We can feel the holiday magic in the air on campus! With 2 weeks left until winter break, we work hard to maintain routine while making memories. There are many opportunities over the next 2 weeks to get involved at your child's school. We hope that you are able to join us for one of our events over the next couple weeks. PTO and our room moms have sent out sign ups for volunteers for classroom holiday parties as well as our Jingle Jam event.
If you are new to Powell, Jingle Jam is a special event that is put on by the PTO and occurs during specials time. Students participate in fun activities with their friends during this event. These activities include things like minute to win it games, crafts, blow up obstacle courses, and much more. The PTO provides the games, activities, inflatables, candy canes, crafts, cookies and the snow machine. After the Jingle Jam event, children return to class to finish out the school day as normal. We are looking forward to this event on December 15th!
In order to make Jingle Jam a success, we need 25 parent volunteers per grade level. Click the link below for available times and to sign up to help. Thank you for helping make this event a success!
In addition to having a fun time at Jingle Jam, we are asking students to bring a food item to donate to the Montgomery County Food Bank. These items will be donated just in time for the holidays. If you are able to, send your donation to school on December 15th and as students enter into the gym for the Jingle Jam event, they will deposit their food donations into the designated boxes.
