At Flat Rock Elementary, our ECSE preschoolers in Miss Penny’s class recently put their detective skills to the test. 🔍 When a favorite classroom toy went missing, students grabbed magnifying glasses and searched high and low around the school for clues. After a thorough investigation, they discovered the toy had been in their classroom all along! Great teamwork from our youngest learners. 🧡🖤

🌱 🌿 🍃 SAVE THE DATE! 🌾 🌸 🌼
The spring preview we recently enjoyed got many gardeners in our community ready to start planting. Keep that excitement going, because we are less than a month away from the Powhatan High School Annual Spring Plant Sale. The window is shorter this year, so plan ahead. The sale will be held at the PHS Greenhouse from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 16 and Friday April 17, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 18. Take Judes Ferry Road to Old Church Road. Turn by the tennis courts and follow the road to the greenhouse behind the school. Cash or Check only. The plant list is coming soon. For questions, contact [email protected].
All sales benefit the PHS FFA and Horticulture programs. Horticulture Science and Greenhouse Production Management students do a fantastic job growing the plants for the sale, as you can see in these photos.

Eighth graders in Mr. Raychouni’s Intro to Game Design & Robotics classes at Powhatan Middle School were recently joined by AP Computer Science students from Powhatan High School, who stepped into the role of “student teachers.” 💻 Over two days, Mr. Wilson brought his high schoolers to offer lessons exploring game development while serving as coding coaches . The initiative, supported in partnership with Mr. Acevedo, gave younger students a glimpse into future coursework and career pathways they can take when they reach high school. 🧡🖤

In Mrs. Vallent’s AP Biology class at Powhatan High School, students are getting hands-on with biotechnology by using the same types of techniques found in research labs, law enforcement, and industry.
They conducted a gel electrophoresis lab where they made agarose gels and submerged them in a conductive buffer solution that is hooked up to a power source, resulting in the proteins separating by their size and charge.
They also conducted a bacterial transformation lab, introducing a small piece of DNA (a plasmid) into E. coli bacteria. This plasmid included instructions to produce a glowing protein originally found in jellyfish, resulting in visible, glowing bacteria in their lab samples. Impressively, every student successfully saw their transformation results! 🧡🖤

The Powhatan County School Board Recap is usually intended to give highlights from School Board meetings, but much of what is discussed during budget season at the Board of Supervisors meetings directly relates to the schools. In those instances, special issues of or additions to the newsletter will give highlights of school-related matters to help people unable to attend or watch full board meetings. The latest newsletter covers the school-related discussion from the March 12 budget workshop.

Flat Rock Elementary third graders recently explored art and culture through a creative project in Mrs. Kunka’s class. 🎨 Inspired by the Dogon tribe of Mali, students watched a video of ceremonial dancing before designing their own masks. Along the way, they practiced creating symmetry while using both organic and geometric shapes. Each student was encouraged to keep their designs bold and simple, reflecting key features of traditional Dogon masks. 🧡🖤
