Even though we had a week off in April, the month was still busy with events. PMA kicked off our 60 Anniversary in style at our annual Legacy Gala. The Juniors had their class retreat. Mrs. MacGregor was named PMA's Teacher of the Year, and the campus was abuzz with the extraordinary performances of the Theatre Guild, during the spring musical: The Addams Family. |
The Junior Class had their annual retreat on Wednesday, April 4, at Rivier University in Nashua, NH. Taking advantage of the college setting, the retreat focused on how to maintain and grow in faith while attending college, as well as after college. Speakers were students from Rivier who are part of the Campus Ministry Program and other young adults who are members of Pure in Heart America. Both offered a lot of insight on this topic to our Junior class.

On Friday, April 6, 250 attendees, plus dozens of student and parent volunteers, attended PMA annual Legacy Gala held at Lenzi's in Dracut, MA. PMA celebrated their 60th Anniversary in style. Diamond jeweled decorations adorned the tables and guests enjoyed an ample array of foods, such a carving station and even a chicken pot pie station. There was no shortage of fun! Guests were entertained by the sounds of Business Time as they ate, played games, and bid on silent auction items.
