The things that matter most are often the hardest to do.

This month at PACT, we're celebrating perseverance. It's about sticking with something even when it feels impossible, a skill is tough to learn, or a situation is really challenging. When students work through a tough math problem or keep practicing an instrument until it clicks, they build resilience, improve their problem-solving, and learn what they are truly capable of.

We believe students learn and grow the most when they keep trying, even when it's hard.

Our middle and high school students, directed by Jaylin Hustedde, are bringing E.B. White's classic story to life in Joseph Robinette's adaptation. This story about friendship, loyalty, and love is sure to be a hit with families.

You can buy tickets ahead of time or at the door.

We'll send out the annual family survey by email next week. Please take a few minutes to share your experiences at PACT. The survey is short and takes less than 10 minutes. Thank you for your time and feedback!

Next week is staff appreciation week. Our teachers and staff give their best to PACT every day, and the PACT Panthers PTO has created a staff favorites list to help you celebrate the special people in your student's life.

To add more festivity to Field Day next week, Dr. Bronson is planning to be outside and offer students a chance to cool off with "Popsicles with the Principal." Students will be offered an "All Sport" Sports Freezer Pop that contains both artificial and natural flavors. 

If you would like your child NOT to receive a popsicle, please fill out this form by the end of the day Tuesday, May 5. Dr. Bronson will have a limited supply of sugar-free popsicles (same brand) available instead. If you approve of your child receiving a popsicle, no response is required. 

Along with a full day of advisory competitions, our Chick-fil-A Leader Academy student leaders are excited to host Middle and High School Field Days focused on leadership and making a difference.

All PACT Secondary students can buy a $10 wristband for unlimited access to a 30-foot inflatable and a three-lane bungee run. There will also be fun competitions with prizes throughout the day.

All money raised from this event will go to an organization that supports teens facing addiction, which is a cause our student leaders care about.

Families can pay with cash or get an invoice through ParentSquare. To participate, bring money to school on Field Day or fill out the sign-up form to receive an invoice.

Secondary Field Day is almost here, and the Junior Class is offering a Pizza Lunch for students! Grades 6-8 will celebrate on Wednesday, May 6, and grades 9-12 on Thursday, May 7. Each lunch comes with two slices of pizza, chips, a cookie, and a bottle of water. Regular lunches are $10, and gluten-free lunches are $12.

Pre-order your student’s pizza lunch here: Field Day Pizza Fundraiser 2026

The Secondary Awards Ceremony will honor students who receive the annual Panther Awards, senior scholarships, Senior Academic Letter, Academic Athletic Awards, and the Excellence in Activities Award. If your student has earned an award, you will receive an email next week.

We need volunteers for our Secondary Campus Field Days on May 6 (Middle School) and May 7 (High School). We are looking for four volunteers each day to help supervise the bounce houses and to referee the softball and kickball games. If you are available, please check the SignUpGenius for shift details and to sign up. Questions? Contact Kelly Rosen, secondary administrative assistant, at k.rosen@pactcharter.org.

Our favorite day of the year is almost here – Field Day! We are looking for high-energy volunteers to help lead the stations and cheer on our students as they race, jump, and play.

Whether you can join us for the morning, the afternoon, or the full day, your support makes this event a lasting memory for our kids. No experience is needed—just bring your school spirit and a pair of sneakers!

PACT’s Amazon Wishlists include items our school needs. Anything you buy is shipped straight to the school, and the list updates automatically. Remember, a $10 donation counts as one hour of volunteer time.
