Our girls’ volleyball team was on the court Monday hosting Mission Juan Diego Academy, but they were serving up a bigger cause. They used the game as an opportunity to bring awareness to childhood cancer. Girls made posters to adorn the walls of the gymnasium walls, and donations were accepted in lieu of an admission ticket. All proceeds will benefit Brooke’s Blossoming Hope Foundation - inspired by a local girl, Brooke Hester, who lost her battle with stage IV Neuroblastoma cancer in 2015. Great job, Lady Eagles and Coach Cantu!

One of our former student’s artwork was selected as the overall winner among all entries for middle and high school students in the National School Lunch Week (NSLW) “You Art What You Eat” art contest. Recent PPAS graduate, Marianeé Canales (Class of 2017) submitted her “Rock the Day” artwork in the contest last spring, and it became the inspiration for the three posters that are currently being delivered to EVERY middle and high school campus across Texas for NSLW, October 9-13, 2017! Marianeé’s artwork will also be displayed at the Texas State Capitol in March 2018. (Marianeé is currently continuing her studies at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.) What a great accomplishment – Congratulations, Marianeé!
