The NET Team has arrived at PA for the 2019-2020 school year and, as usual, they bring all kinds of excitement with them. From praying and leading songs at adoration to spending time chatting with students, the Netters are truly a unique part of our community. Since they each come from a unique background, each member of the team brings something different to the table.
Erin Claussen- From Sioux Falls, SD, Erin joined NET because she enjoys working with youth. In high school, she was involved in soccer, volleyball, choir, theater, and playing the saxophone. Since arriving at Providence, she has been morst surprised by the rigorous curriculum.

Brian Smith- Brian comes to PA from Fort Wayne, Indiana. In high school, he participated in a variety of extracurriculars such as chess club, gymnastics, 4-H, and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). He hopes to help students them grow in their faith. What he found most surprising about Providence was the sarcophagus that used to contain a mummy outside our chapel.

This is his third year with NET. “I’m looking forward to being faithful to daily ministry,” he commented when discussing his plans for this year.

Juliana’s very glad to be part of such a welcoming community here at Providence.

If you want to know the Netters better, go and visit them in the NET room, or even contact Mrs. McCullough in the religion department if your family might like to host part of the team for two weeks. This year is going to be full of great opportunities to grow in faith and relationships with these fun, energetic, faith-filled people.
