Flapjacks and flannel made for a special treat for staff earlier this month at Powhatan Middle School! 🥞🧣 The staff organized an underground flannel day—no heads up for the students, just a fun, unexpected twist! Staff got to swing by during lunch to grab some fresh flapjacks and build their own creations at a toppings bar provided courtesy of the Sunshine Committee. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

In February, our 8th graders at Powhatan Middle School worked through writing stations that brought the Harlem Renaissance to life. Students explored Langston Hughes' powerful poem "The Weary Blues" and learned about Harlem's rich history through the article "Welcome to Harlem" from Junior Scholastic. After reading and answering some thought-provoking questions, they wrote their own essays to reflect on it all. So proud of their hard work! ✍️ #wearepcps #teampowhatan
