We are now collecting Christmas wrapped shoe boxes in support of “Operation Christmas Child”.
These shoe boxes need to be packed with small gifts, and $7.00 per box for shipping costs. Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations worldwide through simple, gift-filled shoe boxes and evangelistic materials that tell the Good News of God’s love.
Here are some ways you can make a difference:
PRAY, PACK A GIFT, GIVE, and VOLUNTEER.
Mrs. Hankins has 100 boxes in her office for PCCA. Please stop by and we will give you as many boxes as you would like to prepare. PCCA will collect wrapped boxes until Monday, November 14, 2010.

Thank You Mrs. Brinson 0 comments
At Providence Academy, we all just love Mrs. Brinson, our history chair who makes learning about history fun! Last week, PCCA 7th graders had the opportunity to visit Little Rock and learn about our state history.
The field trip started out with a visit and tour of the State Capitol, and then onto Central High School where the students sat outside to sketch the building. At the Central High School Museum, they learned about the history of the Little Rock 9, the 9 African Americans who were segregated into Central High School back in 1957. After that, they toured the Old State House, where the students watched a reenactment of 1861, the Civil War in Arkansas.
Thank you Mrs. Brinson for all you do to bring history to life at PCCA!
