Did you know that a group of eagles is called a convocation? It’s perfect, then, that we begin each year with a Convocation Service, gathering the incoming student body together formally for the first time. The highlight is presenting new students, whatever grade they’re in, with a parallel bi-lingual Bible. It features two columns, one in English, and one in the student’s native language. A “ gift that keeps on giving,” these Bibles enable our youth to work on their English comprehension as they strengthen their relationship with God. Pictured with Pastor Eric, our new Director of Spiritual life, is 10th grader Jesus Fernando Pardo of Comalcalco, Tabasco, Mexico.

The Class of 1998, along with their families and members of surrounding classes, gathered on campus July 13-15 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their graduation from PPAS. Themed “A Gathering of Eagles,” the event was true to Pan Am culture, as it provided opportunities for memory sharing and making, fellowship, worship, and mission. Thanks to this group’s generosity, we will soon have a new soccer scoreboard. No matter how long our former students have been gone, campus will always feel like home.
