Mrs. Powell, you were the best boss/principal I have ever known! You had faith in me and were always there for me , pouring your wisdom out. You were my mentor, and my friend. I wanted to be more like you. Your job was so hard, but you made it look easy. You were so good with the teachers, the students, and the parents! I know you are in heaven watching over us. When you arrived, I know God said, "well done my good and faithful servant". You will always be in my thoughts as I try to be more like you. Your family and UCA will always be in my prayers.
