Every vote counts! That was the message Powhatan County Director of Elections Karen Alexander tried to drive home when she spoke with the PHS senior class this week. Alexander talked about the importance of young people making their voices heard on issues they care about through voting and walked them through the process to register once they are eligible. Thank you, Ms. Alexander for speaking to the more than 350 seniors on this vital topic. #wearepcps #teampowhatan
Well the title did say Beauty AND the Beast! Cosmetology 1 students Olivia Benton (model), Addison May, and Brielle Walters represented Powhatan High School well when they competed at the Virginia State Fair in the SkillsUSA Virginia competition. The talented young ladies, who were competing for the first time, brought home fourth place in the Total Fantasy Look Competition. The theme for the competition was Fairy Tale Characters, and these three cosmetology students definitely met the brief. Congratulations! #wearepcps #teampowhatan

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.
