About the Padres
The Powell Padres is the parent-teacher organization at Powell Elementary Bilingual School. We are a 501(c)(3) volunteer-led organization. Our mission is set out in the bylaws:
Support the education of all Powell Elementary School students
Support Powell faculty and staff
Foster positive relationships among parents, staff, and community members
Assist Powell faculty and staff to provide a safe and nurturing environment where all students, families, and faculty can thrive and grow
Raise funds to provide enhanced opportunities for children at school
Create activities and forums that foster a sense of community between Powell students, faculty and staff, and the surrounding neighborhood
How We Operate
The Padres’ annual budget and activities are managed by an elected Board of Directors. Elections are held every year, and all members of the Powell community are welcome to run for a seat and to vote.
We also hold monthly meetings with the school community, and everyone is invited to participate. It’s a great way to stay informed, share ideas, and get involved. Come join us!
