“The
opportunity to have
such strong instruction in
the arts at the elementary school
level is unique and very exciting to our
family. We have been at Powell for three
years and have watched our daughter
flourish and grow academically,
creatively, and personally.”

Yesterday I Had the Blues...
One Book One School is an annual school community project at Powell GT Magnet Elementary School that creates a common literacy experience through the school-wide exploration of a single book. This year's book, Yesterday I Had the Blues, by Jeron Ashford Frame, with illustrations by R. Gregory Christie, is a poetic interpretation of the emotional qualities of different colors. Each kindergarten through fifth grade class will study this book and its themes in a variety of ways. In addition, every Powell family will receive a paper back copy of the book to share at home.
The kick-off to this years' One Book One School project started in January when Powell school hosted the State's first “Blues in the Schools” residency with Blues Musical Artist in Residence, Mr. Roger “Hurricane” Wilson and professional musician and Powell parent, Ira Planer. These musicians worked directly with teachers and students during a week-long musical residency in January. Click here for more information on the Blues in the Schools program.
The entire period of study will culminate in a student created, collaborative, multi-media performance inspired by the book. The colorful performance will take place in six acts; each act is a different color and may contain any combination of art, dance, theatre, music or video. Please join us on Thursday, March 19th at 7 pm or Friday, March 20th at 2:15 pm. in Powell's multi-purpose room . We promise you'll leave feeling in the pink!
