Holiday Gifts

It’s time for the holidays!

​

The holidays are a different this year but Powell Padres is committed to the Powell holiday bag tradition and providing each Powell student with a little something filled with love and joy. 

​

During the last school year Powell Padres contributed the bulk of our cash reserves to families experiencing financial hardship and as a result we are seeking donations to help us create meaningful holiday gifts for all 517 students.

We are looking for $5/child, or $2,585, in donations to support our holiday tradition.

Tax Deductible Donations are very appreciated and can be made via electronically

Venmo & CashApp preferred!
