Grades 10 and 11 Community Action Days

Kicking off the school year through service, Potomac tenth and eleventh graders engaged in Community Action Days last Thursday and Friday. Over the two days, 29 advisory groups volunteered with 15 of Potomac's community partners across the DMV, including Red Wiggler Community Farm, Together We Bake, and Women Giving Back. Several advisory groups delivered dignity donations to our partners, including more than 120 textbooks from the World Languages Department for Habitat ReStore, more than 100 uniform items from the Panther Post for Women Giving Back, and artwork created by MS students for Sasha Bruce Youthwork. 

In the afternoons, students selected a Changemaker Project that offers them an opportunity to continue serving others and our natural world on campus. Projects included making 50 literacy and math kits for Arlington Housing Corporation, removing invasive species from Potomac's campus, and reading with Lower School students.

Thank you to the 45 sophomore and junior student leaders who helped create these meaningful days of service by preparing supplies, taking photos, and leading their peers in Changemaker Projects. View the galleries from grade 10 and grade 11.
