Our Triumphs at Powhatan Elementary
At Powhatan Elementary, we strive to give our students an education that not only prepares them for high school and college, but for the world after. Since our community has been enjoying the district newsletter so much, we wanted to create our own newsletter to share with you. This newsletter will rotate with the district's ; expect it every other Friday at 5 pm, through the school year. We urge you to forward this newsletter to any friends you think might be interested in receiving it – our success is your success, and we want to share it with everyone.

Thank you for your support of our school – enjoy!
Honoring our teachers
Flat Miss Strope encourages students during uncertain time
We’ve said it a million times and we’ll say it a million more: online teaching isn’t our preferred method of teaching! Our teachers wish they could be with your students face-to-face, teaching and learning every day, but in our current situation, they’ve had to accept the fact that just isn’t possible, for everyone’s greater safety.
School Facebook page spotlights one employee & one student per day
Starting Monday, April 27, our Facebook page has been highlighting one employee and a student that employee nominates each day. This is a fun way for you to get to know our staff better and spotlight several of our amazing students! 

Thank you to teachers of Switzerland of Ohio Local Schools

Teachers, keep an eye out next week for a special tribute!

Making Mother's Day extra special
With Mother’s Day coming up — this Sunday, May 10 — we wanted to give you all some ideas on how to make the day extra-special under these unusual circumstances. Our moms have had to pull double duty this year, not only keeping up with normal work and obligations, but helping to homeschool their students.
