What's Happening at PACA?
Our students recently took a memorable trip to Dino Park in Austin! They had an amazing time exploring the life-sized dinosaurs along the half-mile trail. The experience was not only fun and educational, but also gave students a chance to bond, play, and build lasting friendships.
As we step into May, the excitement continues! This month, students will dive into a dinosaur-themed science unit, explore ancient civilizations in history class, and participate in a hands-on Dino STEM experience during our live class.
We’re also counting down to our End of the Year Celebration, where students will receive their completed yearbooks—packed with memories from an incredible year of learning and growth.
Summer is just around the corner, and we’re so proud of all our students. It’s been a fantastic year at Potter and Clay Academy!
