There are many ways to give back by serving such as on the PPA Board, helping in the classrooms, and supporting sports teams our kids participate in. Giving Tuesday offers a tangible way to support the School and College by pooling our resources with others.

And the Principia community is that. A village. People care deeply and tend to look out for each other. Love is regularly expressed and felt. This is beautiful and priceless. ]]> 2022-11-29 05:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2401368913 Connections for a lifetime https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2401377319 Some of my deepest friendships and most meaningful lessons started at Principia - for which I am eternally grateful!]]> 2022-11-29 05:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2401377319 Men’s Soccer https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2402154784 Grateful for friends and memories forged by adversity and victory 💪🏻]]> 2022-11-29 15:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2402154784 Forget the Ivy League... https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2402395049 My mother went to Principia's Junior College in the 1950s -- a good experience for her.  I went in the 1970s-80s and absolutely loved it -- grew out of my shell, found myself, and found myself valued and appreciated.  And wow, I did so much more important and thorough academic work compared to my peers at big universities! When our sons came into college age, my husband had designs on the Ivy League -- but our older son chose Principia.  It took my husband (who had not attended Prin) about 20 minutes on campus to see that Prin was the best choice possible.  Our sons thrived there.  They were involved in everything, and their experiences were awesome!  Now my husband is a huge Prin fan, too.  Give!  And forget the Ivy League; send your kids to Prin, too!  -- Julie Hedgepeth Williams ]]> 2022-11-29 18:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2402395049 Around the World https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2402583639 I am sure Principia makes for a better world, and I am very grateful and appreciative of that. The bonds and foundations formed by and among the Prin family continue to give us all much hope and a way forward. And we need that these days.

That can only bless the world!]]> 2022-11-29 22:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2402634844 The Principia Solar Car Team https://padlet.com/principiaadvancement/pdkezosx9ivly45h/wish/2403078902
I can't imagine a more effective learning tool. If it had been available when I was in college it would have been a priceless curriculum to prepare me for my career in homebuilding and real estate development. Researching the materials, designing a beautiful product, creating a race car to meet rigid specs, raising the money needed, meeting the schedule, meeting the budget, dealing with the Dept. of Energy, showing up with a racecar that can compete with MIT, building a team of individuals who cover all the requirements, building with metaphysicians who are devoted to glorifying God. Best educational program I can imagine. Go RA11!!
