News from the Elementary Principal

Parents, please remember that, for safety reasons, elementary students may not play/wait on the playground without parental supervision after 3:20 p.m. Thank you for your cooperation!

News from the Guidance Office

PACA parents,  the guidance department would like to know if you would be willing to talk about your professions with the senior class.  As our oldest students get ready to go out into the world, we would like to them to hear all that they can about what awaits them in their chosen professions, or help them chose their professions, if they are still doing so. We will hold question and answer sessions from 11:35 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. If you are willing to share your expertise with the seniors, please call Mrs. Kuhnast at PACA (5929-9500), or e-mail her at [email protected]. Thank you!

Congratulations to the seniors who have been accepted to the following universities:

Jill Arthur – Cedarville University, Cornerstone University

Thierry Baldacci -  Florida International University, Stetson University

Debora Bang – Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM)

Natasha Bellesi – Northern Arizona University,  Gordon College

Aline Cardoso – Medicine - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul & Universidade Federal de São Carlos

Stephanie Shu- Design - ESPM

Raissa Dubena- Business  Management- ESPM

Middle School Rafting Trip

The middle school will go rafting on Tuesday, March 5, on the Juquiá River. They will leave PACA at 8:20 a.m. and return at 5:00 p.m. The bus will make stops along the Marginal on the way home, so that parents can meet their children at the designated places (the BR gas station near Eusébio Matoso, Extra-Baby Beef or SP Market). The rafting will be supervised by the Canoar Group. They are excellent instructors and very safety conscious. Students will need to work in groups to help guide their boat down the river. The purpose of this trip is to teach teamwork as they face this adventure.

Biology Trip

Next Wednesday, Prof. Silvano, Mrs. Zuercher and Mr. Dewey will set off with the sophomore class for an ecological field trip to Marujá, on Ilha do Cardoso, near the southern border of the state of São Paulo.

The purpose of the trip is to see the glory of God’s creation and for students to experience different ecosystems found in Brazil.  They will have the opportunity to hike through the Atlantic rainforest and swim in waterfall, an estuary and a mangrove swamp.  Students will identify the structure and composition of each system then compare and contrast them in terms of temperature, elevation, moisture, sunlight, animals, plants and soil types.  The trip also provides plenty of time for relaxing, class bonding and worship.

1.     Willmington’s Guide to the Bible – H.L. Willmington

Easter Food Drive

The high school Student Council organizes a food drive every year to help provide for the needs of the children from Lar Tia Edna. These donations supply the orphanage with over four months of their basic needs.  Each class has been assigned a goal with specific items, in order to use our resources in the best possible way.  Please check with your child to find out which products his or her class was assigned to bring. Monetary donations will also be gladly accepted. The food drive will end on March 26. An e-mail with more information will be sent to families. Thank you for your generosity toward the children at Lar Tia Edna!
