[quote=Anonymous]We are sending our daughter for PS3, and were fairly impressed with the program as a whole and the principle in particular. It's not perfect but we are a part of a wave of Petworth parents that would love to see community activism around making Powell a great option for our kids. And trust me the entusisim is there. The demographics in the neighborhood are changing rapidly and in the next several years all the young families having babies will have to send their kids somewhere and the same 6 charters can't support all of us. I for one am fairly committed to Powell and would love to see all my kids there, past kindergarten. It's also slated for renovation in the coming years starting this summer so the space itself will also improve. It is more structure with less outdoor play space for the kids, then my daughter is used to, they get a 30 minute recess a day, which in my option is not enough. but with several parks nearby I plan on having my daughter play after school outside as much as possible. I feel like there are enough parents interested in Powell that it can be a great place and is on its way to being a desired spot for the Petworth baby boomers. [/quote]
