My name is Adam Schaak, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new Community Education Coordinator at PACT. It is a true privilege to join this community in a role that supports and enriches the experiences of our students and families. One of my primary goals is to expand and enhance the activity offerings available to our community, with a special focus on creating opportunities for younger students to engage with PACT programs at an earlier age. By introducing children to these enriching experiences at a younger age, we aim to nurture their interests, build connections, and further strengthen the vibrant community that makes PACT such a special place.

I look forward to partnering with you and your families as we continue to grow together.

To ensure the safety of all students and respect our staff’s time, we have a strict late pickup policy. Parents and guardians must pick up their children promptly at the end of each activity.

The goal of the Art Club is to offer students a creative outlet where they can explore a variety of artistic styles and techniques in a fun, encouraging environment.

This program offers students a fun and energetic way to explore dance styles, improve coordination, and build confidence through movement. It’s designed to foster creativity, teamwork, and a love for rhythm in a lively and supportive environment.

Join us for the Northern Twin Cities Girls Basketball League—a community-oriented recreational league aimed at providing a fun, safe, and inclusive space for girls in grades 2–8 to develop both their skills and character. Games start on November 1 and run through December 14.

The league emphasizes skill building, good sportsmanship, and fair competition. Teams are created to promote fair play—not to form stacked "all-star" rosters—and families are encouraged to model positive behavior both on and off the court. Whether your child is new to the game or wants to enhance existing skills, this league offers a great environment to play and grow. Teams will be formed once at least seven players are registered, and if there are enough teams participating.

The Panther Youth Basketball program is designed for boys in grades 2 through 4, focusing on developing basic basketball skills while providing a fun and supportive environment for them to play with their classmates. The season will include about two practices per week and 10-12 games. Our teams will compete in a local, in-house league primarily made up of schools within our conference. Practices will be scheduled around the game calendar and may vary depending on gym availability. Games for all grades will be held at PACT. Teams will be formed once a minimum of seven players are registered, provided the league has enough participating teams.

Learn and perform a routine with the Pantherettes Dance Team! The theme is “Around the World,” and there will be a performance for families at 1 p.m. on October 11 in the Secondary Campus Gym.
