Positive people in Pinecrest : Sydney Powell
In late May, new Palmer Trinity School graduate Sydney Powell won the Silver Knight for Mathematics. Powell’s Silver Knight project was Kids Interacting Sharing Shirts (KISS). She collected school uniform polo shirts to be given to underprivileged students in Miami-Dade Public Schools.
“We are trying to do our next distributions in August,” she says. “A kind of a back-to-school drive. We have so many shirts now. Our entire house is covered in boxes that we want to get out.”
They have drop-off boxes at most of the private schools, including Westminster, Ransom Everglades, Palmer Trinity, and Gulliver.
Powell is not only a superstar in community service, she’s also a terrific athlete. She was named to the First Team All-Dade for lacrosse. She was the leading scorer in the county.
She also played golf. The team went to the State Championship Tournament twice and won the District Championships three times. She was Second Team Honorable Mention in golf.
She played soccer as well.
At Palmer Trinity, she was vice president of the National Honor Society, and president of Mu Alpha Theta.
