🐾💙💛 UPDATED: Potter Panthers Spirit Week—Countdown to Count Day! 💛💙🐾
Hello, Potter Families! This is a revision to our previous Countdown to Count Day post. Please refer to this updated notification.
Under Michigan law, schools cannot provide gift cards or cash as incentives for attending Count Day. Therefore, Potter Elementary will not distribute gift cards to students for Count Day attendance. Thank you for supporting your child’s attendance on Wednesday, October 7th!
Join us as we celebrate Spirit Week and count down to Count Day! 🎉 Students and staff are encouraged to show their Panther pride and join the fun!
👕 Please wear school-appropriate attire that follows the school dress code and allows students to participate comfortably in daily activities.
✅ Be at school!
✅ Arrive on time!
✅ Be ready to learn!
Every Panther counts! Let’s show up, shine bright, and make Count Day a great day at Potter Elementary! 🐾
