Powhatan Middle PTO

‼️ Message from your PTO Board‼️

After years of blood, sweat, tears, countless meetings, late night calls and texts, and hundreds of volunteer hours… the time has come for the three of us to say goodbye to our PTO journey. 💛🖤🤍

Thank you to the families, teachers, and staff who noticed and appreciated all of the work behind the scenes — the dances, celebrations, carts, parades, surprises, meals, events, and every little detail in between. We poured our hearts into this school, these students, and this staff while balancing full-time jobs, busy family lives, and everything that comes with it.

What started as volunteering became friendships and memories that will truly last a lifetime, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to serve this amazing school community.

📣 As we step away, we would absolutely love to see new faces step into these roles — especially people who have the same love and passion for supporting our students, staff, and school community that we have had over the past few years. PTO is so much more than planning events… it’s creating memories, building connections, and showing appreciation for the people who make our school special.

If you have ever considered getting involved, now is the time! Please reach out to us if you are interested in joining the PTO board or volunteering in any capacity. We promise to help make the transition as smooth as possible and will gladly provide support, guidance, and all the information we can to help set the next team up for success.

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for allowing us to be part of something so special. We will always bleed orange, black, and white. 🧡

✨Attention 8th Grade Celebration Attendees✨

We are so excited to celebrate our 8th graders at our Glow Celebration tommorrow night! Here are a few important reminders before the big night:

🪩 Doors open at 6:00 PM and ends at 8:00 PM

🍕 Your student’s ticket includes everything for the evening — no additional money is needed! We’ll be serving pizza, salad, fruit, and will have a fun dessert table for everyone to enjoy.
