A Favorite PCA Tradition: Valentine Singing Grams

main image

Once again the PCA High School Vocal Ensemble "spread the love" during Valentines by delivering singing Valentine grams.  This has become a yearly tradition where families and friends can purchase a song to be sung for a special student or faculty member. As in years past, some of the most popular songs included, "You Are My Sunshine", "My Girl", "A Bushel and a Peck" and "You Got a Friend in Me". However, this year there were quite a few requests for "True Colors" from Trolls and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". The PCA Vocal Ensemble didn't disappoint with energetic and entertaining a capella arrangements. 

"While this is such a fun project for the HS Ensemble, it is equally moving to see how much joy these songs bring to the person who receives them. We see lots of smiles and even a few tears each year and that makes it all worthwhile," says Choir Director, Kathy Thames.

The High School Ensemble does such an amazing job preparing each year and our students and staff have come to appreciate and enjoy this sweet PCA tradition. Proceeds from this fundraiser go to help the junior class raise money for the Junior/Senior Prom.

The PCA Girls' Varsity basketball team defeated Pee Dee by a score of 67-59 on Friday night in the first round of the SCISA playoffs. Katelyn Howard led the team with 18 points followed by Olivia Horne with 12 and Lauren Pernell with 11. The win earned the Lady Eagles a second round game against Spartanburg Christian in Sumter last night. The Warriors started things off with a 7-0 run but PCA took control with a 24-4 run in the first half. Unfortunately, the top seeded Warriors sank several three pointers to close the gap in the second half and the Lady Eagles lost 64-62 on a shot as time expired. PCA's girls finished with a 14-10 record after playing one of the most difficult schedules ever played at PCA.
