The Stone Age Meets the Tech Age! Learning was on the move right before spring break in Mrs. Dillon’s fifth grade class at Powhatan Elementary! In a fun and engaging collaboration with Mr. Wolfgang, the Innovating Learning Coach, students explored the rock cycle using Ozobots — tiny, programmable robots that brought science concepts to life. As part of the ACES grant initiative, this hands-on activity highlighted the power of integrating technology into the classroom. Students worked together to code, problem-solve, and visually diagram the rock cycle in a creative and interactive way. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Ms. Phinney and Mrs. Tew’s eighth grade physical science class took on an awesome challenge in the Innovation Lab with Dr. Spott at Powhatan Middle School last week! 🧲⚙️ Students designed experiments to test the strength of an electromagnet—then leveled up by creating devices that use those magnets to move objects. Super cool to see science in motion! #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Junior English students at Powhatan High School had an unforgettable time at the annual Gatsby Gala in March! 🎉✨ After reading “The Great Gatsby,” students got to experience the novel in a fun, hands-on way with interactive stations set up in the library. 📚 Students tried their dance moves by learning the Charleston. They took photos in front of a green screen that could be placed on images related to the novel. They even took a peek at a 1923 pocketbook to see how the cost of living then compared to present day. A huge shoutout to our amazing teachers and librarians for teaming up to make this event such a success every year. #wearepcps #teampowhatan
