The PCS elementary students voted for two special days they wanted to celebrate in November and the winners were … teddy bear day and donut day! We had fun with our teddy bears and stuffed animals last Tuesday, giving certificates for the biggest, smallest, softest, cutest, and most loved. We are celebrating Donut Day this Monday, November 14, by serving homemade donuts during the lunch period. We invite parents of elementary students to join us in this celebration Monday between 12:00 and 12:30 in the lunch room.

Volleyball – The PCS volleyball team enjoyed a fun season, focusing on the biblical character of Esther “for such a time as this.” During approximately 50 hours of practice, the young ladies improved their skills tremendously, particularly developing overhand serves. During the regular season, the team usually won at least one game in close matches against A-league teams; it was encouraging to play at a competitive level. The girls were described as “remarkably composed with a solid knowledge of the game” by the public schools we played.
The team was excited to qualify for the B-league state tournament. Captain Olivia Smith was voted to the All-State Team and Co-captain Courtney Goyak received honorable mention for the All-State Team. These two young ladies provided exemplary leadership for the younger players, and all the girls on the team showed great potential. They were an absolute blessing to coach! Thank you, parents, for your support and assistance to make this a memorable season for your daughters. –Sarah Hayhurst
Soccer – The PCS guys soccer team rallied around Romans 12:11 this season. “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.” The team was able to take this verse to heart, as it was reiterated many times in both practices and games. With a season that held some high points as well as some low ones, the guys found themselves near the top of the WACS state tournament in the end, losing in PK’s to a hardworking Bay City team in the state championship game. One of the most meaningful compliments the team received all season was during the WACS tournament, in which opposing teams pointed out how the PCS guys “played hard, yet kept their testimony above reproach with their words and actions.” We are thankful for the hard work that the team put in this season and hope they can build upon their experiences for the future. –Austen McCoy

Many of our junior high and high school students were able to participate in a community service project last week through Marinette County Elderly Services. On Friday afternoon we took a van and a car loaded with kids and rakes up to Niagara where we washed windows and raked leaves for two widow ladies. The students did a great job of multi-tasking: working hard and having fun! It is our hope and prayer that we were able to be a blessing and a good testimony as we served our Lord in this way. “Thank you” to all who were able to participate!

The elementary students had a pizza fundraiser at lunch today to benefit Assurance Women’s Center, a pro-life organization in Appleton, Wisconsin. There were 5 moms and 5 dads who were able to be here and have pizza with their children. A great time was had by all, and more than $75 was raised to help the Women’s Center. A great big THANK YOU goes out to Justin Priest for having the vision for this fundraiser and to his mom for all the work involved in coordinating it!
