Lower School Masters "Art On A Cart"

This year's art classes, affectionately dubbed as "Art on a Cart" may be portable, but that doesn't mean they are any less fun! 

With each unit focusing on a different aspect of art, last week's unit involved bringing in artistic concepts from folk art, specifically from the country of Mexico.

"This lesson covered folk art, as well as warm and cool colors," said art teacher, Anna Boyer. "Folk art allows for fun and vibrant art while learning a few new concepts about color theory."

Fitz Lee, a kindergartner from Mrs. Orth's class liked the project because "the painting used really cool colors."

Fellow classmate, Athan Dimitrious added, "making the patterns and drawing your favorite ones made it fun."

"Students in grades K-5 do a great job," Boyer noted, "and they continue to be positive despite the challenges of Art On A Cart!"

Thank you, Mrs. Boyer for immersing the lower school students in art history and different artistic techniques through fun and colorful lessons and projects.

Signing Day For Two PCA Athletes!

The Fighting Eagles celebrated two seniors last Wednesday as they signed their national letters of intent to play golf on the collegiate level. Ava Romfo will attend UNC Greensboro and Andrew Propes will attend East Tennessee State University. 

Proud family, coaches and friends gathered in the Welcome Center as the two talented athletes made it official. 

Athletic Director Dale Hoover says, "We are extremely proud of Ava and Andrew for their accomplishments over their careers. Becoming a D1 athlete requires that you add great effort to your desire. Both of these athletes have spent countless hours improving their skills and it makes me happy to see them getting rewarded for all their hard work." 

Congratulations to the Romfo and Propes families!
