The White House challenge required students to put on a hat with a donut tied to it and attempt to eat the donut without using hands. Such delicious fun.

Congratulations to Primacy Math Teacher
Congratulations to Primacy math teacher Ms. Joanne Ward for becoming a National Board Certified Teacher. Becoming certified through the National Board is an arduous and demanding accomplishment. To become nationally certified teachers must pass 10 rigorous exams along with creating more than four portfolios and six exercises for assessing student content. Ms. Ward joins an elite group of teachers as National Board statistics indicate that fewer than 3% of teachers who hold a state license in the USA hold national board certification.
Primacy’s Basement Band
The “Primacy Basement Band” kicked off the holiday season at the Taiwan Adventist Hospital by crooning employees and guests. The band is a product of Primacy’s developing music program and a tribute to our many talented Primacy students. The band is under the direction of Dr. Dwight Crichton.
Primacy Mission Trips
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, nearly 30 Primacy students gave of their time to serve. Projects included teaching elementary students English and volunteering at a local market. One of Primacy’s major goals is to assist our student in building the skills to effectively care for others.
