Pam's Corner... comments, questions and other stuff by Port's Famous Photographer

Well, as always happens, Kacie's time here was way too short.  It was so great to have her here...and the whole family.   They have safely returned home to Florida.   

Last week was also production week for Showcase 2015.  I'm not sure what it is about these shows, but they just make me happy!  Happy?  Sometimes I am in tears!  But the tears come because the music is so beautiful and the kids are working so hard and some of the little ones were just so excited...their faces sparkled!  I was very proud of each and every one  of them.  

There is a reason why the kids do so well.  They have some pretty amazing directors.  We all know that.  The show was amazing.  Thank you to everyone involved!

The Lenten Services continue - Wednesdays ....services followed by lunch!  There have been some pretty great messages so far.  We are down to the last couple services.    This Lenten season has gone by so fast.  I always have a plan in my head - how I'm going to improve myself during Lent - pray more, read the Bible more, do better SS lessons and more.  The time seems to slip by before I accomplish any of my goals.  I had better get on the ball. 

Coming up - the annual Night of Games will be March 31.   Doors open at 5:30  Activities begin at 6 p.m.  Jill Stuckey sent me info about the night's activities which include performances from students of the Sandy Johnson School of Dance, a return of the Gym Show and the traditional seniors vs. the faculty and friends in volleyball and basketball.  I put all of this info in the caption. 

 

I forgot to say that the Basketball Boosters will be using a portion of the proceeds to purchase a new parachute for the elementary students.  Jill explained,   "They were in need of a new one, and the boosters recognize that this event would not be possible without the volunteers of students and staff." 

She also went on to say, "I want to give a shout out to Sandy Johnson who has declined a donation to her studio the past few years as she said "My kids enjoyed the basketball program when they were in school and this is my way of being able to return the gratitude."

The Night of Games is a major fund raiser for the Basketball Boosters.  The funds raised provide Senior Nights for Boys and Girls Basketball, Senior Gifts, Coaches Gifts, and The Banquet.  We give each Varsity Coach $500.00 for their summer programs annually.  The cheerleaders received new pom-poms this year as a gift from the Basketball Boosters.  Thank you for supporting all we do and stand for with a goal of keeping sports a positive influence in our community. 

Anyone wishing to join us please contact me!

On behalf of the Basketball Boosters,  I thank you."

If you're looking for something to do on the last day o the month, take a trip to PAHS!  I was told there was going to be a Dodge Ball Tournament sponsored by the Youth Counselors on April 1st, but I have no details.  It was a lot of fun last year!  I guess I have a week to figure it out!

Be kind to one another!
