"Here's Where Your Adventure Begins!"
A Message From the Principal
Principal- Sandy Bermea
Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for your patience and cooperation the first week of school. Your children are hard at work in the classroom. We have several activities this month. Our PTO fundraiser will be a Fun Run. PTO hosts fundraisers so they can support our grade level field trips and much more. Please join us on September 13, 2019 at Panther Stadium for Bleacher Creatures. Our campus will be announced as the children run through the panther helmet. We hope to see you there. In order to build strong Potranco Panther readers, have your child read each night.
It's a great day to a a PANTHER!
