After a spirited week of theme dress, including the fan favorite "Anything but a Backpack," we officially kicked off Homecoming Weekend with a rousing pep rally in the Spangler Center for Athletics and Community. Following Friday afternoon's athletic contests, the Upper School gathered outside the Panther Pit for our traditional bonfire. Thank you to the Fathers Association of The Potomac School (FAPS), Sean Conroy, and Albert Pingree ’00 for helping to build the bonfire and keep everyone safe.
On Saturday evening, following Fall Frolics and the Homecoming football game, ninth and tenth graders met for class dinners. The former gathered on campus for a Meriwether Godsey favorite – chicken tenders and french fries – while the latter met at the Greenhouse Bistro in Tysons Corner. The Upper School then came together once again in the for the Homecoming Dance in the Kettler Crossroads. Everyone had a terrific time and it was truly a beautiful weekend for our US community.
