Children must be 4 years of age by September 1, 2019, and meet eligibility requirements to apply for PreK. Children must be 5 years of age by September 1, 2019, to apply for Kindergarten.

Girls on the Run Community Service Project
Part of the Girls on the Run curriculum focuses on empowering girls to share their strengths and use their unique gifts to positively impact those around them. Each Girls on the Run team demonstrates this through planning and implementing a community service project which allows them to discover the unimaginable strength that comes from helping others! Our Powell GOTR group are using their strengths to have a Food Drive for the Montgomery County Food Bank. The girls are asking their fellow students to help those in need by bringing in food items to donate to our project. Please have your child bring in non-perishable food items during the week of April 23rd-April 26th. Items will be collected in the gym when children go to PE. Children bringing an item will be entered into a drawing for lunch with Mrs. Owens and Mr. Kirbo.
Most needed items are:
· Canned Meats-Spam & Chicken
· Snacks-Peanut Butter Crackers, Granola Bars, Nuts, Crackers
· Baking Items-Muffins, Cornbread, Brownies
· Canned Soups
