☀️Continuing our Meet the Staff series, we’re excited to introduce Morgan Downing, Director of Newsroom Navigators. Here’s more from Morgan:

My name is Morgan and this is my fourth year working at Summer@Potomac! During the school year, I’m teaching technology in Potomac’s Lower School - exploring robotics, coding, photography, and so many other cool units. I do love to learn, but summer is my favorite season (not just because it’s my birthday season), but because I actually love summer camp! This is my first year directing Newsroom Navigators, and I can’t wait to share my love for all things media with campers. When I’m not teaching a tech lesson or reading the news, you can find me crosswording or playing Sudoku outside at the park!

We are happy to have you on the team, Morgan!☀️
