Spiritual Emphasis Day – 4/23/21
Elementary students were able to attend 6 various
sessions taught by PCS staff, Peter Olson (PCS alum),
and Mr. Mark Fugere.
“Our elementary Spiritual Emphasis Day was one of my
favorites! Through numerous staff members, alumni and
guests, our students became exposed to the importance
of the role of missionaries. They learned about the Mari M., Maria S., Sophie H., Atarah T., Kathryn L.
challenges they face, both in the mission field and when
they come back home to America. It is a life of sacrifice—

not easy at all, but the rewards are immeasurable! We
were reminded that missionaries are not just those
that are called to go across the world, but we, too, are
missionaries, called to witness to our neighbors and
friends right here, right now.” Mrs. Weinberger
7-12th grade students attended sessions at Northview
Church in the morning, and served around the community
in the afternoon.
