Staff Spotlight:
Lizzy
Booth
Lizzy Booth is Potomac’s new Kindergarten teacher! She received her Bachelor’s degree from Western Governors University in 2021. Mrs. Booth taught first grade in Wyoming for the past 3 years. Her husband, Hyrum, is completing his PHD program at the University of Montana. That’s what brought the 2 of them to Montana! Lizzy enjoys hiking, camping, watching movies, playing games, reading, and playing the piano. Mrs. Booth has a difficult time choosing her favorite author or book, but her favorite genre is Historical Fiction/Romance. Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson is one of the best.When asked what makes Potomac special, Lizzy said “The teachers and staff at this school are wonderful people! I have felt welcome and a part of the team from day one. Whenever I have a question or need help, someone is there to help out. I love the supportive school environment! Not only do the teachers and staff help each other, they deeply care about the students. I have been impressed that the staff know all the students, regardless of their age. Potomac is a wonderful place to be!”
We had our first BLT (Big Little Time) of the year today!
A great time for our students to work across grade levels and support each other in reading, listening, and communication skills!

Congratulations Mrs. Amy
On Tuesday, Amy Truett was presented the Montana School Nutrition WOW award by Patrice O'Loughlin, President of MTSNA.
This award recognizes a school food service employee in Montana with a lot of heart. As Potomac knows, Ms. Amy works tirelessly each day feeding students nutritious, well‐balanced meals.
The WOW award is sponsored by the Julie Leister family of Missoula and memorializes Julie who passed away from cancer. Her school nutrition legacy lives on every year as MTSNA presents a hand-carved knife from Julie’s father to Ms. Amy.
Reminder that students need a current sports physical on file in the office to participate in athletics for the 2024-2025 school year.
