Powers Christmas Program Draws Large Local Crowd
The annual Christmas Tree exercises filled the old gym in Powers with a packed audience and decorations. Teachers and students staged scenes with a Madonna backdrop, a Christmas star, and performances by band and choir, with many students in period costumes. The PTA, led by Mrs Fern Bear, funded 400 candy bags distributed by Santa’s helpers after the program.
