Last year’s funds raised were used to continue to replace aging ChromeBooks and provide lightspeed amplification systems per teacher demand. In addition, creative learning spaces in classrooms were implemented along with industry standard software and devices (computers, robotics, drones, etc...). These funds also allowed Powell to provide professional learning opportunities and education for staff to assist with educating students in today's ever changing world. (training/classes/education pertaining to: social and emotional health, trauma informed care, mindfulness, Sources of Strength, No Place for Hate) We are fortunate to be able to provide some of the most up to date technology out there to our students and staff.
