MS PowerPoint is part of the MS Office suite of programs which is quite expensive. I don't know of any place you can get the full blown program for free, but I've heard several people rave about a free shareware program called OpenOffice which has a presentation program with it that they say will interface with PowerPoint. You can get it at:
http://www.openoffice.org/. You can get a free "reader" for PowerPoint from the MS website, but it will only let you view a PowerPoint presentation, not make one.

Go to Kinkos and use their computer for a small fee, they will have PowerPoint, you can also try your local library, most have computers with software you can use to create your PowerPoint presentation and are very helpful. You should be able to save it on disk or CD to play it at school.

Check the link I gave you for Kinko's and you will probalby have all the tools you need without having to spend big bucks!

Microsoft products are not free, and MS's security does a good job of preventing piracy. Suggest you try free open office. It is compatible with Office.

Open Office Tutorial
http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/

Open Office is a free Office Suite which has proven to be an alternatvie to Microsoft Office except for one thing that I mentioned, it's FREE. There are many other sites dedicated to Open Office and even those that offer Open Office Tutorials.

OpenOffice.org is a collection of different applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the components are designed to mirror those available in Microsoft Office. The components available include:
Writer — a word processor similar in look and feel to Microsoft Word and offering a comparable range of functions and tools. It also includes the ability to export Portable Document Format (PDF) files with no additional software, and can also function as a WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing web pages. One important difference between Writer and Microsoft Word is that in Writer, many functions and number formats from Calc (below) are available in Writer's tables. Another difference is that in Writer, automatic save is off by default.
Calc — a spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel with a roughly equivalent range of features. Calc provides a number of features not present in Excel, including a system which automatically defines series for graphing, based on the layout of the user's data. Calc is also capable of writing spreadsheets directly as a PDF file.
Impress — a presentation program similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. It can export presentations to Adobe Flash (SWF) files allowing them to be played on any computer with the Flash player installed. It also includes the ability to create PDF files. Impress suffers from a lack of ready-made presentation designs. However, templates are readily available on the Internet.[6]
Base — a database program similar to Microsoft Access. Base allows the creation and manipulation of databases, and the building of forms and reports to provide easy access to data for end-users. As with Access, Base is able to work as a front-end to a number of different database systems, including Access databases (JET), ODBC data sources and
