Message from the PTSO
Panthers Helping Panthers (video)
Last June, Potomac Falls High School asked for your support of our community’s families who faced significant needs due to the COVID-19 crisis.
The response from the Potomac Falls community was amazing and inspiring. Through your donations, the school provided assistance through the summer and early fall to our school’s students and families.
While our devoted and heroic school cafeteria workers continue to provide meals for Potomac Falls students and families, this assistance is not meant to provide full and complete nutritional needs.
As the COVID-19 crisis continues, many of our Potomac Falls students and families continue to live with food insecurity.
The time has come again for Potomac Falls High School to ask for your support.
With cash and check donations now not possible, we ask for your financial donation in $25 dollar increments to go toward the purchase of grocery store gift cards that will be distributed to our students and families in need.
To make a donation, please go to the PTSO’s Panthers Helping Panthers link on the Potomac Falls website.
https://potomac-falls-ptso.square.site/product/panthers-helping-panthers/31?cs=true
We understand that not all are in a position to give, and ask that you donate what you can at this time.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.
Once a Panther always a Panther.
