A Short Week, Big Moments: PAA Students Lead Us Into Thanksgiving

As we head into Thanksgiving break, we’re celebrating the incredible ways our students filled this week with energy, laughter, leadership, and community. Even in a short week, they made PAA come alive.


🎭 Students Took Center Stage

Our Drama students kicked off the week with a fun and thoughtful performance all about gift-giving. Their acting, humor, and creativity had the whole school entertained from start to finish. They made us laugh, made us cheer, and reminded us just how much student talent shines at PAA.

🗳️ Freshmen Showed Up as Leaders

Freshman elections were a highlight! With so many students running for office, it took two full lunch periods to hear all the speeches. We loved watching our youngest high schoolers step forward with confidence, share their ideas, and support one another. Their enthusiasm for leadership and community is inspiring.

💙 Students Make Every Day Meaningful

From performances to elections to everyday moments of connection, our students continue to show what makes PAA special. They gather, laugh, try new things, learn together, lift each other up, and make every shared experience richer. Their courage, creativity, and commitment to community are the heartbeat of our school.
