From a press release:

“The Story of Our Schools, a DC nonprofit dedicated to empowering young people to tell the powerful stories of their school community, has been selected as the first beneficiary of the Appointed Gives Back campaign.

Between October 20, 2016 and May 1, 2017 Appointed will release a limited edition DC notebook for $24 and donate a portion of the proceeds to The Story of Our Schools.
“We are extremely grateful to Appointed for selecting The Story of Our Schools to be part of their campaign,” said The Story of Our Schools Executive Director Jen Harris. “As a small non-profit, we will be able to use the proceeds to assist the hard work already underway by students and teachers working to tell the story of Capitol Hill Montessori @ Logan and Marie Reed Elementary School.”

“The D.C. community has been an integral part of the Appointed story and growth.  All of our products are proudly American made, many in the Washington, D.C. area. We’re excited to create the Appointed Gives Back program by donating net proceeds of our limited edition Washington, D.C. workbook to a local education-based non profit. The Story of Our Schools was the perfect choice to be our first partner.  Their mission in bringing pride and community awareness to District public schools plays an important role of sharing the rich histories and stories of our schools and the District.” – Suann Song, founder of Appointed.

The Story of Our Schools is a nonprofit dedicated to helping DC students research and share the history of their school and surrounding neighborhood by creating permanent lobby exhibits that engage the entire community.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
