First Graders Learn About Pumpkins!

Fall brings the changing of leaves, apple cider, and most of all, pumpkin patches!

Last week, first grade classes went to Legare Farm for their annual pumpkin patch field trip. When students arrived at the farm, they were able to learn about the life cycle and care of pumpkins before being able to pick out their own pumpkin to bring home.

Students also enjoyed visiting the petting zoo where they were able to feed goats and pigs before climbing onto an open wagon filled with hay. As they bounced along the acres of land which make up the fully functioning farm, they stopped just long enough to feed cows via open palms, and get an up close look at the farm animals.

Before heading out, students delighted in a picnic lunch under the trees, then headed back to campus with their pumpkins! All in all it was a fun fall-themed adventure!

Homecoming 2021: What A Celebration!!!

What a glorious celebration of Homecoming at PCA as students of all ages enjoyed a variety of fun-filled activities and showed incredible school spirit! 

Upper School students enjoyed dress up days throughout the week including Western Wear, Time Travel, and LA/Hollywood Days, while our entire school participated in Hawaiian Day and All Out Eagle (Blue & Gold) Day! We absolutely loved seeing the incredible costumes of our students and our faculty, who made it memorable with their spirit days ensembles! 

Also on Friday, we celebrated our Fighting Eagles with a spirited all school pep rally in the new Student Life Center gym. How wonderful to see Eagles of all ages coming together in one event!  

Later that night, a huge crowd of PCA families and fans enjoyed Friday Night Lights with a fierce battle and tremendous effort on the field by our Eagles, supported by our very talented cheer squad. Fans were also treated to an adorable mini cheer performance at halftime which led to the introduction of our 2021 Homecoming Court. A big congratulations to Paisley Dybowski and Spencer Evans who were crowned this year's Homecoming Queen and King! PCA Alumni, and last year's king and queen, Olivia Horne and Kendall Chakeris, joined us for the big moment.

But the celebration didn't end there. After the game, Chick-fil-A North Mount Pleasant hosted a 5th Quarter Event for our PCA families to gather, play cornhole, enjoy delicious food, and fellowship to wrap up the evening.

What an amazing week to be an Eagle!!!
