The Lunch Buddies Mentoring Program has been in place in Powhatan County Public Schools for the last 10 years. The goal of the program is to help foster strong relationships among our students and the positive adult role models in the community. Whether at any of our 3 elementary schools or our middle school, you would meet with a student once a week and ultimately act as another advocate for them. It can be anything from academic support to conversation, playing games, making crafts, and so much more. The program is planned to begin the first week of October and will last until mid-May, when SOL testing begins in our upper grade levels.
If you are interested in participating as a mentor for the Lunch Buddies Program, we would be happy to have you! Please apply using the QR code or reach out to lunchbuddies@powhatan.k12.va.us for any questions.
We hope you’re having a great three-day weekend students. See you back at school Tuesday morning! Please don’t be late.
Mrs. Arnett’s sixth graders at Powhatan Middle School started off math class with a game on Gimkit called The Floor is Lava. Gimkit is a classroom game-show platform where students compete by answering questions on their Chromebooks. Instead of earning points, students earn virtual currency, which they can "invest" during the game to boost their score. #wearepcps #teampowhatan
