I'll Be Home for Christmas
Imagine being away from home (and your mom's cooking) for an entire semester! For many of our students, they simply live too far away to visit their families other than during the three-week Christmas break. So, this is a much anticipated time for our students and their families who miss them dearly.
Students will return to campus on M
onday, January 2, for classes resuming on Tuesday, January 3. We wish all of our students, faculty, staff and friends of the school a safe and blessed Christmas!

And the Winner is...
Each year art students submit entries for the cover of the school Christmas card. This year's first place
entry was designed by senior Marianeé Canales of Valle Hermoso, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Her artwork depicts
the relationship between Mary and Joseph, and how heart-warmed they must have felt when Jesus was born.
Marianeé
wanted "the amount of love that Mary and Joseph had toward Jesus" to emanate through her work, and for it to remind us that this is how God looks at and loves us.

Consider a Year-End Gift
There's still time in 2016 to make a
tax-deductible donation
to Pan Am.
This year, our end-of-year letter features th
e story of Joshua, a junior this year at Pan Am. Joshua is an honor student enrolled in dual-credit college courses, an athlete, and also a role model to other students at Pan Am. But, without the financial support of generous donors, he wouldn't have been able to return for the 2016-2017 school yea
r.
Won't you consider a gift this year to Presbyterian Pan American School so we can help students like Joshua discover their possibilities?
