Legacy of a Model

The high task PACA teachers have is the opportunity to impact a child's destiny for eternity - to transform a life.  Ms. Jane Meacham was a 1st grade teacher at PACA for several decades, who led many students and their parents to the Lord by being a role model of Christian faith.  Her mission field was the first grade students God brought to her for over 40 years.
