Potter Road Elementary Wins Wager With Kansas City School
After a friendly weekend wager, kids at one Kansas City school are rocking Patriots colors and students at Potter Road are rejoicing.
FRAMINGHAM, MA- What started as a friendly wager between two schools across the country has turned into a lesson in good sportsmanship.
On Friday, Larry Wolpe, Principal of Potter Road Elementary School, reached out to the Principal of Red Bridge Elementary School in Kansas City to start a friendly wager. The losing team in Sunday night's AFC Championship game would have to come back to school on Tuesday wearing their opponent's team colors.
