Exciting news! In addition to the reality of our beautiful athletic field, we will be initiating two new

educational programs to our core curriculum. Beginning this fall, we will introduce an Art Program
and expand our Foreign Language Program. Students in grades PreK-5 will receive a weekly
period of Spanish. Our middle school students already receive 4-5 periods of Spanish on a weekly
basis. Adding Spanish to the elementary curriculum will further enhance the students’ ability to
graduate from PMA having mastered a second language.

Additionally, students in Grades 1-8 will receive art classes on a weekly basis for half a year. So as
not to compromise the CORE CURRICULUM, each class will be split into two small groups; while
one group goes to art for one semester, the other group will go to music. We will structure the library
and the computer classes in the same manner. This will allow us the opportunity to offer the
students Art and Spanish without compromising the time they need for the core curriculum. Students
in grades Pre-K and K will continue to have art classes within the regular classroom setting,
since it is already successfully integrated into the curriculum through their learning activities and
projects..

NEW: PMA ART CENTER
Through the generosity of the Sisters, we have obtained optimal space for our new art center. There
will be ample room to allow the children to carry out their projects. It is our hope that eventually
one of the two rooms which the Sisters have turned over to us will become the home of The PMA
Student Art Gallery—a permanent place where we will be able to display the students’ masterpieces!
Our Art Center will be located on first floor, using the long hallway that leads past the
Sisters’ kitchen and refrigerator areas, into a bright and spacious room, ideal for our purpose. A
second room to expand beyond that is also available to us.
