❄️💙 M.D. Ambassadors Spreading Warmth! 💙❄️
Some of our M.D. Williams Ambassadors spent time decorating boxes for the Warm Hands, Warm Hearts Winter Drive! Their creativity helped prepare our collection areas—and now we’re ready to begin gathering donations.
We’re collecting new winter hats, gloves, socks, and small blankets to help keep students warm this season. If you’d like to contribute, donations can be dropped off in the M.D. office or sent with your child.
Thank you for helping us spread warmth and kindness in our school community! ✨🧤🧦

Our phone lines have been fully restored and are now in working order.
We had experienced some ongoing issues with the phone system this morning. However, our technology team has restored service and our phone systems are now fully operational. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
We went through our Lost and Found box at M.D. Williams and set everything out in the gym for students to look through. After every class came by, these are the items still unclaimed. All remaining items have been placed back in the Lost and Found box!

We are still experiencing issues with the phone system. Our technology team is working to restore service as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us by email or through our website. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
Pocahontas School District is implementing its second year of the Cart of Kindness initiative, offering grocery support to a limited number of families during this season. With help from our local Harps, we’ve been able to expand the program this year and nearly double the support provided. Together, we’re helping spread kindness throughout the Redskin community.
We're sorry for the inconvenience! Our phone lines are currently being replaced due to damage caused by squirrels chewing through the cables. Phone lines should be back up within the next two hours. We appreciate your patience while repairs are underway.
✨ We're excited to share a refreshed visual identity across our website, district app, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and more. This updated look reflects our continued commitment to clear communication and a unified, modern brand for our schools.
