Our community gathered together for the second annual Grills and Games! The event was a wonderful opportunity to show our Panther pride, catch up with old and new friends, celebrate our senior athletes, and reflect on the great things Potomac has done throughout the 2022-23 school year. Relive the memories with this Grills and Games photo album.
On Wednesday, students participated in Potomac’s final Sandwich Day of the school year, bookending our October kick-off to resume Potomac's 33-year Service Learning initiative. Each month, K-12 students took responsibility for learning about local food insecurity and achieving food equity in preparation for Sandwich Day. In total, LS, MS, IS, and US students prepared 8,056 sandwiches with respect for long-standing partners, Martha's Table and Cornerstones, to benefit community members in need. Each sandwich donation was packaged in compostable bags accomplishing our goal of creating a more environmentally sustainable Sandwich Day. Thank you to the support of our Potomac community for relaunching our school's long-standing tradition with renewed importance. A special thanks to PASLC leaders Gretchen Speigel and Tiffany Butler and parent volunteers in each division for spearheading logistics to count and deliver the K-12 sandwich donations.
One of the most sought-after raffle prizes at Potomac’s annual Fall Frolics carnival is the honor of being named Head for a Day. Second grader Dylan Sheridan was this year’s winner. She quickly proved herself to be a leader interested in every facet of Potomac’s operations. She began her day with an executive briefing before joining Mr. Kowalik to greet LS students as they arrived. Miss Sheridan then went on to meet with staff and administrators. The day included a visit to a rooftop patio, seeing what it would be like to drive a school bus, meeting division heads, reviewing the Potomac website, and enjoying lunch with Mr. Kowalik and several friends. To top off her day of leadership, Head of School Dylan issued a proclamation declaring Wednesday, May 31, as Spirit Day – an outstanding executive decision! See how she spent her day.
The road to despair is paved with “the best intentions.” When closed minds lead, and others follow, the best intentions often yield tragic and unexpected results. The townspeople in the upcoming US play, The Diviners, have nothing but the best intentions in mind – but will someone pay the ultimate price for their cause?
The Potomac Upper School Theatre will present The Diviners for their final show of the season tomorrow, May 12, at 6:30 pm and Saturday, May 13, at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Please pre-register for tickets; admission is free. There will be a 10 minute audience discussion after the performance on Friday and Saturday evening. The featured artwork, which will serve as a backdrop for the play, is designed by junior Sofya Donets.
Head’s Holiday on May 26This week we announced that Friday, May 26, would be a Head's Holiday with no classes. We hope faculty, staff, and students enjoy this day off!

Because we are expecting so many grandparents and special friends, we cannot accommodate parents as guests in the classroom.
Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well-being, and mental illnesses are common and treatable. While 1 in 5 people will experience a diagnosable mental health condition during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their well-being. One goal of Mental Health Month is to reduce the stigma that often prevents individuals from seeking help. It’s important for students to know when to turn to friends and family when they are struggling and for families to know where to turn to get help for their children. Check out the self-screening tools at MHAscreening.org, which include quick, free, and private ways for individuals to assess their mental health and recognize signs of mental health problems. MHA also offers information, tips, and “Tools to Thrive” that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency regardless of the situations they are dealing with. Lastly, the Potomac Counseling team is here as a resource for families who would like to discuss their child's well-being.
On Monday, May 15, the Potomac School Jazz Band will perform at Jammin Java for a High School Jazz Band Showcase with ensembles from Flint Hill, H-B Woodlawn, and Georgetown Day School.

Third graders took to the woods to embark on their own journey as Corps of Discovery members last Thursday. After extensive research on how the Corps of Discovery traveled west in search of the Pacific, the third graders got to try out some of their own hiking, mapping, and teamwork skills throughout different outdoor stations. The third graders first looked at the different perspectives of current and past Native American tribes while asking themselves, "How are we one with the land?" and then set off for a morning of fun and hard work!

In kindergarten, students are learning about electricity and how to build circuits. They began their foray into electricity learning about what it is, sources of electricity, and how to identify things that it powers. Then they moved onto a beginners set of Snap Circuits, which is a tool that makes building circuitry fun and easy. Students are now completing circuits with upwards of 20 pieces. It was an electric time!

Cross-divisional conversations and connections were enjoyed by all.
Both the seventh grade and eighth grade had students represent Potomac at the VEX Robotics World Championships this past week in Dallas. The Eighth Grade VRC competition had nearly 500 teams split into five divisions. Eighth graders (Shlok Kuchangi, Kate Myslewicz, Julian Mankovsky, and Tristan Mankovsky) went 8-1-1 over the two days of competition. They were ranked #10 out of 81 teams, qualifying them for the elimination matches for the “Sweet 16”. Although they lost in the elimination bracket, the experience of collaborating with teams from all over the world was an exciting experience.
The Seventh Grade VEX IQ competition had nearly 800 teams divided into ten divisions. Seventh graders (Ronnie Bandi, Matthew Bodi, Woodley Bohannon, and Marissa McEwen) also made a good showing in a field of 77 teams in their division at Worlds. A highlight was when their team was paired with a team from Nigeria. In addition to competing, all of the teams enjoyed time out in Dallas in some of their downtime.
Since fall, IS students have been tending the Intermediate School Environmental Science Facility (EFS) garden by planting several native ferns, spring bulbs, and native plants to attract pollinators as part of their club. Come walk through the garden to see their work.

Recently, a group of eighth grade students traveled to Bishop’s Head, MD, for the Chesapeake Bay trip. They captured crabs in pots, canoed, scraped grass beds, determined the bay’s water quality, and enjoyed being one with the marsh. An early wake-up time on Saturday allowed them to see the sun rising as the moon was setting from one vantage point. They are now ready to protect the watershed! Enjoy photos from the trip.
A few years ago, COVID safety concerns prompted photography teacher Lise Metzger to close access to the darkroom, which led to a curricular shift that focused on digital photography. Once Ms. Metzger assessed the safety of returning students to a small, enclosed space, she decided to reopen the Upper School darkroom for the 2022-23 academic year, adding airflow machines for added measure. Currently, the Upper School photography curriculum consists of four classes that progress through the concentration. Taught by Ms. Metzger, courses are part art, part tech, part chemistry, and part patience. Learn more about the darkroom experience on our website, and be sure to visit the US Art Show, which runs through May 16.
The first-ever US Spring Carnival is right around the corner! Next Friday, May 19, from 3:30 - 8:00 pm, students in grades 9-12 are invited to join the fun and camaraderie. Shuttles, dinner, and dessert will be provided.
On May 8, the Chinese Culture Club had the privilege of experiencing the vibrant culture of Yunnan, China. A group of talented artists came to showcase the region's rich heritage, including a workshop that featured mesmerizing traditional dance performances, live music, and ancient scripts. Professional dancers performed the symbolic Peacock dance, teaching the basic steps to the students through interactive games, while a musician delighted the audience with beautiful melodies of traditional Yunnan music.
Overall, the workshop provided a unique cultural experience that allowed students to expand their horizons and learn about the fascinating culture of Yunnan. The Chinese Culture Club is committed to hosting more educational and entertaining events that showcase the diverse cultures of China to our school community in the future.

The 2022-23 robotics season has concluded, and we are already in preparation for 2023-24! It’s a great time to reflect on a sensational season and congratulate everyone on their success. Special thanks to coaches Oscar McCullough, Matt Rheinstein, Mary Jarratt, Sabrina Gooptu, and Hany Eldeib, who mentored 59 US students on 13 different teams. Interstate travel led teams to Massachusetts, Ohio, and California, in addition to several local and distant Virginia competitions. In addition to team 12H placing second in the world, other highlights include seven teams that qualified for States, four teams (12H, 12A, 12X, 12G) that finished in the top 20 for skills in the state of Virginia, and two teams that qualified for and traveled to Dallas for the World Championship. The accomplishments of all the teams and the dedication of students and coaches demonstrate the world-class program that Potomac has fostered over the years. Bravi!
YouToo Tennis hosted its last session on Sunday, culminating a month-long spring program in partnership with the Autism Society of Northern Virginia (ASNV). The reciprocity between participating youth from ASNV and Upper School student volunteers was visible in each session, with all students benefiting from the meaningful experience together. A special thanks to senior Maia Phillips for her leadership throughout the school year, helping ensure that all US volunteers learned about the specific needs of participants with developmental disabilities. Through relationships forged, Potomac students prioritized making personal connections over teaching the game of tennis. Thank you to more than 25 US volunteers, faculty chaperones, and sophomore YouToo leaders, Anaahita Kaashyap, Sonali Sachdeva, and Cooper Schirmeier, for your dedication throughout the year to help this 11-year service program continue to thrive.

See photos from the game.
The highlights of the team's regular season were battles to victory against two nationally ranked teams, Loyola Academy and Georgetown Visitation.
The intensity, work ethic, and stellar play of senior captain Kate Motley continues to inspire the team every day. She scored her 100th goal against Bullis and has notched nine more since! TEAM OFFENSE consistently flows with five to seven players scoring and/or assisting goals. TEAM DRAW wins more than half of all possessions per game. TEAM DEFENSE consistently works as a fierce unit to cause multiple turnovers per game and to transition the ball back to the attack end of the field at high speed.
On Tuesday, the Panthers defeated Holton-Arms 11-5 in the quarterfinals of the ISL AA tournament. It’s no surprise that six different players scored: Sophomore Stella Pence had a hat trick and four assists. Senior Kate Gregory and sophomores Catherine Le Tendre and Amory Imperatore each had two goals and an assist; first-years Riley Walters and Brooke Ambrose each had a goal. In addition, Catherine LeTendre and Brooke Ambrose each won four draw control possessions, and senior goaltender Cate Dannahey had six saves. Next up is a rematch with Stone Ridge in the ISL AA semi-finals today at 5:30 pm. Photos from the opening ISL game can be found here.
Last week, the varsity softball team defeated the Flint Hill Huskies 6-3 to win the ISL regular season title. The team was undefeated in league play going 7-0. Overall this season, the team is 18-1, winning 17 straight games and outscoring their ISL opponents 92-3.
Abby Rebhan '24 pitched a complete game against the Huskies, striking out 13 while walking two. The hitting attack was led by Rebhan and Erika Castellano '23, with two hits apiece. Rebhan had two doubles, and Castellano had a single and a triple. Another key hit was a two-run double by Sloane Escobar '25.
Later in the week, the Panthers closed out the regular season with a 17-1 victory over Saint John Paul the Great on Senior Day.
The track team competed this past Saturday at the Dogwood Invitational hosted by UVA. It was the largest meet in the State, with over 198 teams competing.

Our boys distance medley relay team of Cole Griswold '24, Charlie Ortmans '23, Alex Mathews '24, and Eli Levine '26 placed second overall. Arielle Kouymdjian '25 and Sasha Minsky ‘24 set PRs in the 3200m. The team is competing in the MAC and ISL Championships this week.
The boys tennis team continues to improve as they head into the final stretch of the season. Displaying their best effort yet against a loaded Sidwell Friends team, the Panthers narrowly lost the regular season MAC championship match last Friday, 3-4. Despite the tough defeat, the boys played with the most energy they had all season, picking up two huge comeback wins at the second and third doubles spots.
The team took on St. Andrews in the first round of the MAC tournament with a decisive 7-0 win. Today they play #3 seed Georgetown Day School.
The team currently remains undefeated against VISAA schools. Ranked fourth in the latest poll, the Panthers are looking to make a deep run in the state tournament next week after what they hope will be a successful MAC tournament.
The girls JV lacrosse team ended the season with a record of 6-3, beating Flint Hill 10-2 in the team's final game of the season. Captains Hala Karim '24, Chloe Winslow '24, and Bella Kim '25 did an excellent job leading this wonderful team of 24 scholar-athletes. Haley Lucier '26, Olivia Tromblay '26, and Kim led a balanced attack with 12 different players scoring goals. Charlotte Gabriel '25 and Kate Hedges '27 were outstanding in the goal and were supported by Winslow, Gia Bognet '26, Dasha Minsky '26, and many other strong defensive teammates. Congratulations on a wonderful season!
