Mission Work Groups Visit Campus
 Twenty-seven students and adult volunteers from West Plano Presbyterian Church in Plano, Texas and San Gabriel Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, Texas spent their Spring Break (March 10-15) volunteering their time and sprucing up the Pan Am campus. In addition to planting native plants around the fountain area, volunteers cleaned the fountain and replaced the pump, and the fountain is now fully-functioning again.  Volunteers also spent countless hours removing debris from the east side of the campus in preparation for the new loop road that is currently under construction. In addition, they joined our students in chapel services and field day activities throughout the week. |
