Hawks helping others is a pillar that we live by at WCA. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. We have supported many causes over the years. We have decided to have a "Run for Good" to lend a hand to those impacted by Hurricane Ian.  

We will run the Cross Country 1 mile path around our school and church campus. And the PTF will be serving free water and popcorn for all to enjoy. The cost is $20 per family. Please CLICK HERE to register. On the fundraising site, you will also see the option to create a fundraising page and accept donations for the Run. Families may also show up on the day of the Run to register or make a donation. All proceeds will be sent to the Salvation Army. Young children need to be accompanied by a parent. 

Please CLICK HERE to volunteer on the day of the event.

For more information, email sports@wcahawks.org. We hope to see you there!

Chapel - We are looking forward to a very special Chapel the Wednesday before Veterans Day. Our PTF has arranged to have two Veterans visit our school. Michael Eiss, Former Marine and retired Waxhaw Police Chief will lead the Elementary Chapel, and Rear Admiral Casey Williams Coane (a WCA Grandparent!) will lead Chapel for the Middle School.

Red, White & Blue Day - Please have your student WEAR RED, WHITE, and BLUE to school on this special day (no uniforms required). 

Wall of Honor Display - All Hawks will visit our school display in honor of Veterans Day. Thank you, students for sending in your Veteran/Service Person Interview sheets for the display. 

Donations - We will be collecting items for the VA Hospital in Salisbury throughout the week of November 7-11. Collection bins will be in the lobby for students to donate art supplies, card games, puzzle books, notecards, and baking mixes.

All Jr Beta Club students and their parents are invited to a special breakfast and induction ceremony.

Get ready for a week filled with gratitude! Each day will be filled with Thanksgiving fun, including a daily spirit wear theme and gratitude activity. In the spirit of gratitude, we are also asking parents and friends to help sustain our mission by making a gift to the WCA Hawk Fund this week. This annual campaign has helped support the school's operating expenses each year and has always played a vital role in ensuring the school's stability and sustainability. At the end of the week, parents, grandparents, students, teachers, and staff are invited to celebrate and give thanks together at the Thanksgiving Picnic on Friday, November 18, from 11:30 pm -1 pm. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information!

Why We Give  

Our WCA community has helped us support the mission and vision of our school by funding unique projects. Over the last year, we have built an outdoor classroom, enhanced our library, and purchased a new sound system. We also invest in the quarterly STEAM events created and developed by our staff to challenge the minds of our students. Last year's first WCA Invention Convention was a huge success. Every student reached for the stars and came up with an invention of their very own. 

Educational space enhancements, activities, and events like these would not have been possible without your extremely generous and heartfelt donations. We are coming to you again this year and asking that you look into the future and help us dream even bigger. Please consider making a donation to our Hawk Fund during the Week of Giving. If your company has a match program, please also consider filing the paperwork for that matching gift. We are grateful for your continued support and prayers.

All parents are invited to the PTF's First Friday Fellowship. The December gathering will include Christmas music, refreshments, and a devotion. Parents will also help cut out snowflakes and stars to use as decorations for the Christmas STEAM event.

Mark Your Calendars for our next STEAM DAY! WCA will celebrate the J.O.Y. (Jesus. Others. You) of Christmas during school on December 8th! 

Help us prepare for this special day! The PTF is looking for white twinkle lights for STEAM Day decorating. Email cdefinishenricks@gmail.com if you have lights the PTF may borrow OR CLICK HERE to purchase lights for the school. 

Parents and grandparents, stop by the gym for a morning cup of coffee and listen to some beautiful Christmas carols performed by WCA students. Students will stay with their class during this event since many grades will have parties and activities that afternoon (please see your teacher's newsletter for class information).

We will introduce our basketball teams and cheerleaders in preparation for our first home game of the season! Go Hawks!
