Dear Parents,
Ready, Set, Go! It is time to get ready for Pacific Crest Academy’s third annual Jog-a-Thon on Monday, October 3rd. This is the first year PCA is holding our Jog-a-Thon in the fall. It’s a fun event that allows our students to participate in raising funds that go directly to supporting their education at Pacific Crest Academy. The school spirit surrounding this day is inspiring. Every class will be cheering each other on every step of the way. Parents are invited to volunteer or participate in cheering on the students as well. In this week’s Friday folder you will be receiving an envelope with a few pages included to help you obtain pledges with ease. Our goal is to raise $10,000 dollars. If every student were to collect $100 dollars we would reach our goal. If our school reaches that goal we have a very special surprise planned for the students they are sure to LOVE. Go PCA!
Safe Environment Training must be completed by all parents who volunteer at PCA. Training will be made available Thursday, Sept. 22 and Thursday, Oct. 6 in the Parish Hall beginning at 6:00 pm and lasting no more than two hours. Childcare will not be provided. All parents must complete training before volunteering in the classroom. If you’ve already taken the class you do not need to attend this year’s training. Information regarding renewal will be sent home by the end of this month.
We have received complaints from neighbors that cars are speeding on 5th and 6th street. Please be respectful of our surrounding neighbors and observe the 25 mile per hour speed limit. Thank you.
The safety of your children is always our number one priority. If you have not yet sent in your child’s emergency kit please do so as soon as possible. Being prepared is key. Thank you for your help in this matter.
The PCA staff is looking forward to attending Teacher Excellence Day this Friday. It is an opportunity for us to come together with other Catholic Schools in the Southern Deanery. This event will be held at Seton Catholic High School. In attendance will be staff from St. Josephs, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Rose from Longview, Seton and PCA. The theme for this year is, The Spiritual Dynamic of Catholic Education. Father Robert J. Spitzer will be the keynote speaker.
I wish all of you a wonderful three day weekend.
In Christ,
Mrs. Parker
