Red Ribbon Week
Powell will be participating in Red Ribbon Week the week of October 23. Since 1995, the Red Ribbon Campaign has united students and communities to take a visible stand against drugs. This is a great opportunity to talk to your children about how harmful drugs can be. The daily dress up themes serve to raise awareness of the importance of living a drug-free life.
Positivity Project
This week students in all classes enjoyed learning about Integrity. Next week, students will learn about Perspective. We look forward to recognizing our students who are displaying perspective!

Nominations for Gifted & Talented Testing
Nominations are now open for Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Although the testing will not take place until February, nominations are accepted at this time. Nominations can be made by the parents and/or teachers. It is recommended that parents of 2nd grade students wait until CogAT scores have arrived before nominating their child because CogAT scores are part of the GT assessment. If you are interested in nominating your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher at conferences. Nominations will be accepted through December 18. You may request a nomination form from Erin Anderson at eanderson@conroeisd.net. You can also find the nomination form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage.
