PAA Game & Gym Night for High School and Middle School

Saturday night’s PAA Game/Gym Night was an absolute blast! Our Student Association opened the doors to both high school and middle school students, and more than 100 young people showed up ready for fun, food, and connection.

The gym was full of energy—students played basketball, volleyball, and other games while others gathered around tables for everything from strategy board games to laugh-filled party games. A movie room offered a comfy spot to relax, and the snack tables were busy all night.

One of the best parts? Watching middle school students mix right in with our high schoolers. The older students were welcoming and friendly, helping create a space where everyone felt comfortable. Parents who stayed to hang out appreciated getting to see the PAA community in action—warm, lively, and full of joy.

Events like this help build the kind of relationships and familiarity that make the transition to high school exciting rather than intimidating. We loved giving middle schoolers a glimpse of what it’s like to be part of the Cougar family—and we hope to welcome many of them back as future PAA students!

It was a night full of fun, friendship, and community… everything we love about being at PAA. 💙🐾
