A Message from Ms. Cimino
We had a very busy March, starting with many visitors for Read Across America Day. We also hosted our production of Disney's 101 Dalmatians Kids. Thank you to Mrs. Boyles, Mr. Hensel, Mrs. Immerso, Mrs. Richie and all those who helped for such a wonderful production! Our students did an amazing job, as usual!
Saturday, April 14 is the annual Potter Gift Auction. Tickets are SOLD OUT! Donations are always welcome and appreciated. Please send any donations into the main office ASAP!
Spring is here, and with that will be many exciting events for our students. Please continue to check our website calendar and the events listed below so that you will be up to date. All of us at Potter wish everyone a restful and enjoyable Spring Break!
Congratulations to the cast, chorus and crew of 101 Dalmatians!

District Reading Challenge
Please remember our ongoing District Reading Challenge.
As an incentive to encourage reading, students who participate in the Year Long Reading Challenge will receive a "Reading Challenge" certificate. In addition, students will receive an entry for a prize drawing for a Scholastic gift certificate for every 2 hours of reading completed and will be featured on our Facebook page and recognized at each school. Students can keep track of their reading hours by clicking the link below. To participate in the challenge, students must turn in reading logs at the end of every month. A list of suggested books can be found by clicking this link:https://goo.gl/DPUQ2m.
