Adopt a Panther is a volunteer based Christmas initiative similar to Angel Tree. The program provides gifts for families who are in need during the holiday season. It also allows us to identify families at risk to further assist them throughout the year. Last year with the help of our volunteers Paschal Harvest Project provided gifts for 36 families, a total of 127 children and teens right in our pyramid. As the holiday season quickly approaches we are starting to recruit for volunteers to adopt families this year. With your help we can bring hope to families this holiday season! If you wish to volunteer or would like more information please email Maria Manks at maria.manks@fwisd.org for more details.

Money Matters Course - Junior Achievement Program
The Money Matters course at Paschal incorporates the Junior Achievement (JA) program to link business and education for the students. This year the Money Matters class at Paschal was selected to represent over 100 participating high schools at the annual Junior Achievement Breakfast. This event is JA's largest fundraiser and is a platform to show how JA can benefit our youth. The event was held at the Fort Worth Club where over 250 top executives from major businesses were present as well as the new FWISD Superintendent, Dr. Scribner and School Board President, Jacinto Ramos, Jr.
The Money Matters class at Paschal took an active role in the event by greeting guests and demonstrating a JA course. Also, two students were elected to be the Master of Ceremonies. The students had a great experience meeting business leaders in our community, and representing what exciting things are happening at Paschal High School.
