School let out at Praise Academy in Shreveport on May 20. Students, teachers and Mission team members celebrated the completion of their first year with hymns and brownies (prepared by the pre-K class) before capping off the day with a water balloon launch. For Joan Pingel, the principal, a favorite moment came when several students ran to get their final projects—ABC booklets featuring letters, words and pictures—so they could show them off. The students expressed sadness at the close of the year, and one told Joan he planned to wear his uniform every day during the summer.
