I want to recognize the incredible influence Mr. Powers has had on our son and grandson, Carter.

Through his guidance, Carter has learned leadership, integrity, and responsibility. Mr. Powers connects with children in a way that inspires them to think critically, respect others, and do the right thing, even when no one is watching. His impact on Carter’s confidence, character, and outlook is immeasurable, and we are deeply grateful for his dedication and care.

Mr. Powers was my introduction to my daughter’s new school. He made me feel comfortable as a first time Dad to have my daughter attend his summer camp. Then when my second daughter came of age to attend his summer camp it was like second nature. I was comfortable and confident in Mr. Powers abilities to my make my daughter's feel safe and have fun at the same time. He provides the discipline our kids need and he is also a father figure which is an invaluable asset for our children. He shows compassion and care for others. I'm grateful for his dedication to educating and supporting our kids.

It’s rare to remember a teacher decades later, but that’s the kind of educator Mr. Powers is. I was fortunate to be his student as a child, and now my son has had the same privilege. Mr. Powers made me feel seen, supported, and inspired to be my best—and today, he brings that same passion, kindness, and dedication to my son. With over 30 years of experience and a genuine heart for children, he is the perfect leader for this new afterschool program. Any family who joins will be truly fortunate.

Mr. Powers doesn’t just teach; he genuinely cares. He treats every child with respect and kindness, investing fully in their growth and well-being.

 My son Noah had the privilege of attending Mr. Powers’ camp, and the impact has been truly remarkable. At first, Noah was very shy and hesitant to join in, but with Mr. Powers’ encouragement, patience, and ability to connect with the kids, he quickly began to open up. Before long, camp became the highlight of his week. Now, Noah actually wakes me up in the mornings to make sure we get there on time—something I never thought I’d see from him! The confidence and joy he has gained through this program have been such a blessing. I am so grateful for the positive influence Mr. Powers has had on Noah’s life as a teacher and a camp instructor.

 Mr. Powers has been an incredible mentor/teacher to my son over the past six years, and we are so grateful for the impact he has had on his life. From the very beginning, Mr. Powers was easy to communicate with. He was always approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure my son felt supported and understood. What truly stood out was his fairness and dedication to the kids. He treated every child with respect and care, but with my son, he went above and beyond.

My child has had the opportunity of participating in Power Camp for the past 3 years. She throughly enjoyed herself, hence the reason we keep returning. As a parent my expectations were exceeded. The kids enjoyed field trips, swimming, and talent shows. Who knew my child could dance? The camp fostered team work, friendship and overall personal growth. Thank you Power House for creating a space for children to be children.

 My wife and I have known Mr. Powers since we were kids, and our connection has only grown stronger over the years. He was more than just a teacher to us—he's a man of GOD, a mentor, a father figure, and a caring uncle to many. His influence has shaped the lives of countless young women and men by instilling in them a sense of accountability, discipline, and responsibility. One of the most inspiring programs Mr. Powers provides is the unforgettable summer initiative called POWER HOUSE. This program has been a staple in our community for years, and both my wife and I, having grown up attending, now watch our own daughter participate. POWER HOUSE offers a variety of engaging activities—from swimming and arts and crafts to creative projects and exciting field trips—creating a vibrant environment where children can learn, have fun, and build lasting memories.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Powers to friends and family for their children. His presence is a blessing in our community, and I truly believe his role is essential in shaping the future of our youth.

He always keeps open communication to voice any concerns or suggestions. We are blessed to have met Mr. Powers and love the way he loves the children.

 I just want to thank Ms. Clay and Mr. Marshall for the amazing work they’ve done with my daughter this year. When she first joined the performing arts program, she was so shy she could barely speak in front of others. Now, she performs with confidence and even volunteers to help the younger students. It’s been beautiful watching her find her voice and believe in herself. She’s learned so much more than performing — she’s learned teamwork, discipline, and self-respect. Both teachers care deeply about each student, and it shows in how the kids support one another. I’m so grateful for the encouragement and professionalism they bring every day.
— Maria R.

Our son absolutely loves being part of the performing arts program. We’ve seen such a big change in him since working with Ms. Clay and Mr. Marshall. He used to be quiet and reserved, but now he sings around the house and proudly practices his lines for family and friends. The balance between fun and structure you’ve created keeps him excited to learn. We really appreciate the way you treat every child with patience and respect. The end-of-session performance was joyful and inspiring — it brought tears to our eyes. Thank you both for helping our son build confidence and for teaching through love and creativity.
— James & Tasha W. 

Ms. Clay and Mr. Marshall have been such a positive influence on my daughter. Through their guidance, she’s developed not only her performance skills but also her confidence and focus. She’s learned how to project her voice, work as part of a team, and handle responsibility with maturity. I’ve watched her excitement grow after every rehearsal, and she often shares how much she learns from each of you. The final showcase was amazing — every student looked polished and proud. Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and belief in these young performers. You’ve given them lessons that go far beyond the stage.
— Aisha S. 

We are so thankful for the performing arts program and the incredible energy Ms. Clay and Mr. Marshall bring to it. Our child looks forward to every rehearsal and comes home glowing with excitement about what they practiced that day. We’ve seen huge growth in their confidence, communication, and self-expression. You both make every student feel valued, and that means so much to us as parents. The show at the end of the session was outstanding — creative, well-organized, and full of heart. Thank you for all the effort, patience, and dedication you pour into these kids. You’re making a lasting impact on their lives.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Mr. Marshall for the time he’s spent teaching my son the drums. It’s been amazing to watch how much he’s improved in such a short time. What really stands out is the patience and passion Mr. Marshall brings to every lesson. My son talks about him constantly and practices every day without being asked. He’s even started to teach me a few things! Thank you for giving him the confidence to believe in his talent.

 I want to sincerely thank Ms. Clay for all the time and care she’s put into teaching my daughter voice lessons. Before joining her class, my child was so nervous to sing in front of anyone. Now she’s singing around the house with confidence and joy! Ms. Clay not only taught her technique but also helped her believe in her own voice. I’m so grateful for the patience and encouragement she gives every week. It’s clear she loves what she does, and the kids feel it too.
— Erica D. 

Thank you, Ms. Clay, for helping my son find his voice — literally! He’s learned how to control his breathing, stay on pitch, and sing with expression. What stands out most is how you make the lessons fun while still challenging him to grow. He used to hum quietly to himself, and now he performs proudly in front of our family. You’ve truly brought out his confidence and passion for music. We’re so thankful for your dedication and the positive influence you’ve had.
— Robert T.

 I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Clay and her voice lessons. My daughter has always loved to sing, but Ms. Clay really taught her how to use her voice properly. She’s learned about breathing, tone, and projection — things I never knew went into singing! The growth we’ve seen has been amazing. More importantly, she’s learned self-confidence and discipline. Thank you, Ms. Clay, for believing in her and helping her discover her true potential.
