Hello Little Powder Families,

Welcome back! I hope this letter finds you well-rested and refreshed after a joyful and relaxing summer break. As we prepare to open our doors for the 2025-2026 school year, I want to take a moment to personally welcome both our returning families and those who are new to our school community.

There’s something special about a rural school like ours—where students are known by name, where families work together, and where community truly matters. 

This year, we’re excited to continue building on our strong traditions while also embracing new opportunities for growth. Whether it’s through hands-on learning in our classrooms, outdoor education in our surrounding landscape, or community events that bring us together, we are committed to making this school year enriching for every student.

A few quick reminders as we head into the new year:

• First day of school: August 18th

• Open House: August 12th from 5-6PM

We are also thrilled to welcome some new faces to our staff this year. Tasha Culey joins our team for Art; Crystal Lenhart will be bringing her literacy expertise to our interventionist position; Treasure Boller is the new face of Little Powder moving into the secretary position. Please keep an eye out for introductions in upcoming newsletters!

If you have not already, please follow our PTO’s Facebook group which keeps you up to date with all the fun activities and learning opportunities that the students have. Little Powder sends out school closures, camps and many other communications through Remind. If you have not had a chance to get signed up for that, get with Treasure in the office. We also use our School Website as a hub for many things. That can be found at: https://sites.google.com/ccsd1schools.net/littlepowderschool 

Thank you for being such a vital part of our school family. Your support, involvement, and trust are what make our school a truly special place. I look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks and working together to make this year one to remember.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out at any time.
