A MESSAGE FROM MRS. BORDO
Dear Parents,

I'm pleased to share an exciting update from Mrs. Newman about the Wexford Warrior Leadership Team

Working together, members of the Wexford Junior Warriors and Warrior Leadership Team selected three holiday service projects that matched their passions: Random Acts of Kindness with Christmas Cookies; Bringing Joy to Shelter Pets; and Loving on Leaders and First Responders. 

  • Bags of delicious Christmas cookies were packed and given to mail carriers, next door neighbors, members of the community, teachers, and friends to spread Christmas goodness to others. 

  • Students filled personalized bags with handmade dog tug toys, cat blankets, as well as donated pet treats for shelter animals at Animal Friends who did not have a home this holiday. 

  • Loving on Leaders and First Responders will feature items that represent how they help others. Those surprise bags will be delivered in the coming weeks.

The Junior Warriors and Warrior Leadership students are passionate about cultivating relationships, service towards others, and sharing the love of Jesus. Thank you for your prayers and partnership as we serve those around us.

Thank you to Mrs. Newman for organizing and investing her time! Enjoy photos of the service projects below.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Bordo
Wexford Campus Principal
