We are looking for volunteers to come decorate doors. Dates will be prior to CMAS. Look for information in future newsletters.
Encourage youth in your life to take a mental health survey and sign up for free and confidential therapy sessions at IMatterColorado.org. #IMatterColorado 
The PTO needs volunteers to help on committees for upcoming events. Some large roles and some small. Being involved with PTO is a wonderful way to learn more about the school and complete your required volunteer hours.
PTO. Meet other WCA parents by joining the PTO Facebook Page and please email the PTO with PTO related questions. Visit the PTO Website and read the PTO Newsletter.
WCA awards students monthly who exemplify character traits throughout the month. We want to encourage our students to be strong examples of great character in school and beyond. We celebrate these traits through our Cougar Awards.
