Dear PCA Families,
Please join me tonight at 6:30 pm for the first showing of our much anticipated "Mary Poppins" spring theatre production. There are four opportunities for you to enjoy watching our Junior High and Upper School actors as they sing and dance throughout the evening (and Saturday matinee!) Tickets are available at the Main Gym door.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN to members of the Mary Poppins cast on WTSN with Mike Pomp.

This week my AP Physics students and Jeffrey Lapointe's Robotics students had the privilege of traveling to
Turbocam International, one of the top manufacturing enterprises in the Seacoast Region, where they enjoyed an interactive and informative visit. Our students were able to observe computer specialists, engineers, and marketers hard at work generating important components for large trucks, airplanes, locomotives, and rockets. Thank you to Turbocam owners, Marian and Suzie Noronha, for their continued leadership and warm welcome to our students!
|
|
After the visit, our students had an opportunity to share their insights and knowledge with some of our younger PCA students, perhaps future Turbocam engineers!
I pray that for your family and you have a wonderful, restful weekend.
Warmly,
Dr. John Engstrom
Head of School

Dear PCA Friends and Families,
If the academic year is like a marathon, they you are already in the stadium for your final laps. And behold, the race official just rang the bell-- you are all on the last lap!
I exhort you, keep pressing! Dig deep! Shout encouragement to your fellow runners to your left and right. Find that next emotional, spiritual, and intellectual gear, and power through the tape at the end-- it is there! You have worked so hard-- FINISH WELL! We who are watching are proud of you!
I know-- you might be saying to yourself, "Who IS this guy? Runey doesn't even live her yet! What does he know about our race?" Well, at one level, you are right. At another level, I have just been part of completing a couple of "life" races of my own.
