As the weather gets warm, the footsteps of the goddess of spring are approaching. The Spring Goddess celebrates the turning of the wheel of the year as the death and decay of winter gives way to a time of renewal and rebirth. However, our graduating class scented the air of the autumn leaves, about to be grown-ups and leave the mother, Pacific American School.

This year’s indoor fun fair was a back-up plan for PAS annual sports day. Due to heavy rain, sports day was canceled for that weekend. Instead of outdoor sporting events, we came up with an indoor fun fair that combined with challenging obstacle courses. It was held on March 7th, 2009 from 8:00am to 1:30pm right in our PAS campus.
