We're Back! And the Energy is Everything

School is back in session, and PAA is alive again.

Students filled the hallways this week and the energy has been through the roof from day one. Old friends reuniting, new friendships already forming, and everyone settling back into the rhythm of a school schedule. Classes are underway, content is being covered, and students are already diving in. It has been a wonderful first week.

Staff is equally thrilled. There is nothing quite like having students back in the building, and the joy of reconnecting, teaching, and being all together again is written all over everyone's faces.

The year actually got its start even before the first bell rang. Seniors kicked things off with Senior Retreat last weekend, heading out together to bond, worship, and set the tone for their final year at PAA.

And today, Friday of the first week, the Student Association is closing out the week with Beach Day, a community and culture building celebration planned and run entirely by our student officers. What a way to end week one.

Senior Retreat to Beach Day. That is quite a first week. And it is just the beginning.

Welcome back, Cougars. This year is going to be something special.
