Growing in Grace: PCA Middle School Highlights This Fall

PCA community and middle school community, happy Thanksgiving. Principal Lois Blatchley shares an encouraging update from the middle school during Thanksgiving break. She highlights moments of student care in Bible Homeroom, strong academic growth in writing, math, and science, and meaningful teacher collaboration across grades. The episode describes how chapel and small-group conversations are helping students wrestle with faith questions, how chaplain-led discussions deepen understanding, and how mixed-grade small groups build leadership—especially among boys with the help of staff and parent volunteers. Lois reviews transitions for sixth graders (gaining organization and confidence) and eighth graders (stepping into leadership and preparing for upper school), and expresses gratitude for students, teachers, families, and God’s faithfulness this fall. Listeners are invited to engage with teachers, celebrate student progress, and join in gratitude and prayer for the school community.
