Dear parents,
Time goes by so fast. Christmas is right around the corner. Let us lift our hearts and voices in one accord to praise the Lord, our heavenly Father, for watching over us all these days. Let us make this festive time of the year a wonderful opportunity to thank God for what He has given us, and glorify His Holy name.
Let us all rise and serve our God and serve our community in Christ. Let’s go and share the Good News and witness to our neighbours the true meaning of Christmas.
Let’s take a quick snapshot of what had happened in the past 3 months and thank God for his blessings:
Did you notice the school has put up a few Christmas trees and nativity silhouette around the school building this year? Also, did you see the big cross in the hallway near the school gym? This is our new home and Christ is the centre. We are happy that we can freely express what we believe in, freely share our values and opinions, and nourish the spiritual welfare of our children. This is the time to build a solid faith and foundation in Christ.
Let us remember to continue to pray for more funding and long term financing for the next phase of construction and increase in student enrolment in the next academic year. If you want to offer your financial gift to the school, you can donate on line at:
http://www.canadahelps.org/CharityProfilePage.aspx?CharityID=s95998 or download the pledge form on the site: http://www.pca.ca/content1.php?id=87. You can also donate equity by using the attached transfer form. You will receive tax receipts for your donations. Also, watch for the registration package in the mail. Your early registration will help the school in securing long term financing.
May God’s name be praised. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Let’s take a quick snapshot of what had happened in the past 3 months and thank God for his blessings:
- The 40th Anniversary Dinner Gala and Official Opening of the school new location were filled with countless moments of joy, sharing, praying and reminiscing by guests, alumni, teachers, staff, parents and students.
- The installation of the school zone sign and all-way stop signs at Hooper and Renfrew, and the construction of the side walk south of the school were just in time for winter (or a very mild winter so far), despite the City of Markham had indicated to us the lack of funding and delay in scheduling. Our students and other commuters taking the bus will feel safer now walking along that stretch.
- The parenting seminar was well received by parents both internally and externally, and thank God for giving us this opportunity to promote our school and the importance of Christian education to existing and potential PCA families.
- A big thank you for your generosity which made the Teachers and Staff’s Appreciation Dinner a true success. They had a wonderful time that evening. Our teachers and staff had taken so much more responsibilities and worked extra hours to make this relocation a success. They deserve our heartfelt appreciation.
- The Christmas concert was a great time for our one big family. Despite the lack of a proper auditorium, our students and parents, both HS and ES came together to celebrate Christmas. Thank you, teachers, staff and parent volunteers who put this night together for us to worship our God. In case you had missed Mr. Broomer’s sharing of the inspector from Ministry of Education, he said he wished he could be a child again so he could come to PCA, and he wished his grandchildren could come. That speaks volume.
