Welcome to the tent! It is with the utmost delight that we introduce the exceptional eight contestants for this year’s intense run of The Great BG Teach-Off professional development.

Students are learning about staying safe around electricity. Thanks BGMU for visiting Potter Gray today!

Mrs. Potter invited BGMU to speak during her STEAM lab time today. Among the employees was a familiar face—Potter Gray alum, Aiden Schulten! Aiden attended Potter Gray back when Mr. Tinius was principal.

Today we celebrated Mrs. Riley on her official last day! Tomorrow she begins her well-deserved retirement, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all she has done! 💜
