Our second annual Friday Night Lights was a wonderful example of Potomac coming together as a connected community. With events and activities for all, there was no shortage of fun, conversation, cheering, eating, and golden tickets! The evening began with a sold-out matinee performance of Willy Wonka, Jr., followed by open gyms, parent socials, face painting, food trucks, reunions, and football. Enjoy the FNL photo gallery!

On Tuesday, our sixth grade social studies curriculum came to life! Students became medieval pilgrims, and our campus transformed into the road to Canterbury. Classes enjoyed four school-appropriate Chaucerian tales told by Potomac faculty during stops on their travels. All students ultimately made it safely to Canterbury (their classrooms) without losing their fortunes to any brigands lurking along the way.
Middle School is well on the way to reaching our divisional book donation goal of 2,000 books for the annual Book Fair. There is still time on Friday to bring in children's books and adult novels.

We encourage families to use the envelopes to hold cash for their child's scheduled Book Fair class visit day.
The MS teachers enjoyed the delicious breakfast spread on Tuesday morning, organized by the Parent Association. The teachers filled their plates and bellies and left the faculty room with a big smile on their faces! Thank you very much for treating MS faculty and staff.
As a reminder, IS conferences will take place tomorrow, November 10. Students are welcome to read a book in the IS Commons while parents meet with their child’s advisor.
This morning, the grade 7 advanced Spanish class went to Planet Word Museum in Washington, DC. The voice-activated museum is the first of its kind. Students heard two mini-lessons given by a Venezuelan language “ambassador,” learned about etymology from a talking word wall, explored the diversity of languages, and noticed the influence that the Spanish language has on our vocabulary. Take a virtual tour!
The seventh grade parent and student social, a Zoo-fari-themed dinner and dance, will take place on November 16 at 6:00 p.m. This letter contains information about this important event that students and one parent/guardian are expected to attend.
In grade 8 history class, students learned how freed people constructed their new lives in the post-emancipation era and discussed what freedom meant to formerly enslaved people. In this project, students designed a monument to teach Americans about a hero of Reconstruction. Students began by researching a topic in the history of Reconstruction and then created a monument prototype to reflect how their topic furthered freedom and equality during the Reconstruction era. Student monuments were accompanied by a plaque that described the monument's meaning and incorporated their research. John Mercer Langston, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Howard University, Joseph Rainey, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers were among the topics chosen by students.
On Monday, November 6, IS students Jack Cristinzio ’28, Vivian Helinski ’28, Susie Taylor ’28, Madeline Barbee ’28, Woodley Bohannon ’28, Hugh Holtman ’28, and Julian Nagoski ’28 shared their sports stories with the IS division in a special assembly to celebrate the season. Students shared themes of perseverance, teamwork, camaraderie, appreciation, and courage. They all had some words of wisdom to pass down to the class of 2029. Read the fall season recap in the athletics section below.
Parent-Teacher Conference sign-ups are now closed. Please note that you are still able to view your conference schedule.

While the entire community gathered this weekend for our inaugural Potomac Theatre performance of the year, a rollicking interpretation of Willy Wonka, Jr., the Upper School got to experience a sneak preview of the show during the school day on Friday. While the performance was officially optional, nearly the entire of Upper School student body chose to attend – it was a spirited moment of community and support for our cast and crew. We are excited about upcoming Potomac Theatre productions this year, and auditions already took place earlier this week for our next show. View a photo gallery of Willy Wonka, Jr.
On Tuesday, the Upper School gathered for a health and wellness-focused Panther Time assembly. Led by the Peer Leaders, a group of juniors and seniors who help educate students on issues related to wellness, the program served as an introduction to Potomac’s new definition of health and wellness for our Upper School community. The Peer Leaders developed immersive ways to introduce students to Potomac’s six “dimensions of wellness,” many of which involved getting students off their feet and interacting with each other in Langstaff Auditorium. We hope this shared language for what wellness means at Potomac will serve our community well as we move through the rest of the year!
During our study of the musculoskeletal system, the grade 12 anatomy and physiology class was fortunate to have a very local guest speaker who is an Olympic training center athlete, pro cyclist, and Lower School science teacher! Jessie McKinney spoke about her experience as an elite-level athlete, her strict training refinement, and the realities of professional athletics. The students were then able to ask her questions ranging from cycling terminology and techniques to the mental health struggles and performance enhancing drugs that so often permeate professional sports. Thank you for sharing your experience and story, Ms. McKinney!
The Upper School advanced Chinese class embarked on an immersive trip to the China Folk House in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The house is a hub for cultural diversity, environmental stewardship, and experiential learning. Students explored the intricate blend of Han, Tibetan, Naxi, and Bai Chinese cultures within the house, diving into language learning by experiencing a pre-electricity agricultural lifestyle and witnessing the impact of modernization on traditional ways. They discovered the interplay of French culture and recognized the global interconnectedness present in the Folk House. Delving into traditional Chinese architectural techniques and crafting a meal from garden-grown produce, they grasped ancient craftsmanship and sustainability. The house's relocation from Yunnan, China, prompted discussions on globalization, fostering a deeper understanding of global connections and the importance of preserving heritage. This transformative experience enriched language skills, cultural appreciation, and environmental awareness among our students.
YouToo Tennis hosted its last session on Sunday, November 5, culminating a five-week-long fall 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 our junior student leaders Anaahita Kaashyap, Sonali Sachdeva, and Cooper Schirmeier for their leadership throughout the season, 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 through the game of tennis. Thank you also to more than 25 US volunteers and faculty chaperones for your dedication to helping this 12-year service program continue to thrive.
Last week, the girls varsity soccer team completed the defense of their ISL tournament championship, and won back-to-back titles for the first time in over 20 years. On Monday, they took down GDS 4-1 with goals scored by Chloe Lee ‘25 (2 goals), Reagan Exley ‘24 and Alden Marin ‘26. In the semifinals on Wednesday, the Panthers held off Maret and won a close game 1-0, with the lone goal being scored by Megan Rowe ‘24. That set up the final on Friday vs Holton Arms. It was a tight battle the entire 80 minutes, but PGVS had a majority of the chances in the first half, and finally broke through 10 mins into the second half. Abby Collis ‘24 played a wonderful ball over the top and Exley did the rest, as she placed a perfect shot into the lower left corner. From there, Amory Imperatore ‘25 and the defense did the rest, keeping a shutout for the second straight game. The players now have their sights set on winning the NOVA state tourney this week, as they dominated PVI on Tuesday with another 3-0 shutout. Marin scored two goals and Lee added one to the final tally, while Exley ‘24 collected two assists. The NOVA state final is today, November 9. PGVS hosts Bishop O'Connell in a rematch of last year’s title game. Please come cheer on the Panthers for the 2:30 pm game on Gum Tree!
Last week the boys varsity soccer lost to Sidwell Friends 5-2 in the MAC Tournament finals. Lawson Watt ‘27, captain Patrick Ritter ‘25 and Colin Cordell ‘25 all contributed to Potomac’s two goals. This week, the #2 ranked Panthers defeated #10 St. Anne’s-Belfield School 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the VISAA Division I State Tournament. Ritter and fellow senior Eli Butler ‘24 each scored, followed by a goal from Ege Kirgis ‘27, assisted by Ben Scharf ‘26. Senior keeper Walker Lyall ‘24 recorded his seventh shutout of the season. Penalty kicks decided the state semifinals match up as the Panthers fell to #3 St. Christopher’s yesterday.
The girls varsity tennis team had a decisive 5-0 win in the state quarterfinals against Episcopal. Impressive playing by all three doubles teams set the tone for a dominant win. Thanks to our #1 doubles team of Hope Dennis ‘24 and Riley Williams ‘26 with an 8-1 win, #2 doubles team Riece Grimes-Thomas ‘26 and Deja Dimps ‘25 with a hard fought 8-6 win, and finally our #3 doubles team of Daelyn Dimps ‘24 and Sonali Sachdeva ’25 with an 8-2 win. Williams cruised at #1 singles 8-0 and Sachdeva secured the team win, 8-2 at #5 singles. This was a great team effort up and down the lineup. PGVT takes on first-seeded Collegiate in the semifinals today at 1:30 pm!
We thank the eighth graders for their effort and leadership and hope that the seventh graders return next fall season to form the core of our 2024-25 teams. Read highlights from each team.
