Dear PCA Families,
Thank you to those who attended our Veterans' Day chapel last week. This was a wonderful opportunity for our school to reflect on those who have given their lives, times, and energy to protect us. Approximately two dozen veterans from the Air Force, Marine Corps, Army, and Navy were in attendance. A special thank you to retired USMC veteran, Mark Thorne, for his uplifting message of unity to our students. Thank you to Carroll Stevens for organizing the event and to Katrina Veno for leading our Upper School Symphony and Junior High Band in their magnificent performance of "Armed Forces Salute."
Congratulations to all of our athletes for an incredible fall season! Hundreds of people attended the Fall Athletic Banquet last week to celebrate our eleven teams' accomplishments.
CLICK HERE for a list of this year's award recipients. For team photos, please visit the Fall 2018-19 Fall Athletics Teams at the bottom of our
Athletics page. Thank you to Anders Lund of
Viking Photos for these great team pictures!
I pray that your family and you will have a good, safe weekend and wonderful Thanksgiving Vacation later next week.
Warmly,
Dr. John Engstrom
Head of School

Congratulations to PCA sophomore, Liza Corso, for being the first Cross Country athlete in PCA's history to compete in the New England High School Cross Country Championship! Liza competed last weekend at Derryfield Park in Manchester, NH against 261 of the top female athletes in New England. This prestigious competition includes the top athletes from Division 1-4 public and private schools throughout the region. We are proud of Liza for capping off her very successful Cross Country season and are looking forward to watching her compete in the upcoming Winter Track season. Great job, Liza!
