THANK YOU for giving!
Thank you to all who supported WCA's Week of Giving with canned goods, by filling Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, making donations, and giving of time and talents.
PTF and WCA are grateful for the $17,000 that was received during our Week of Giving fund drive. This money will provide resources and learning opportunities that will benefit students in all grades, going beyond what tuition can cover.
The Hawk Fund is open for donations year-round, so it's not too late to make a contribution.
Your support and contributions are greatly appreciated.

What do 3rd graders like about WCA?
"Learning about God and Jesus."
(That was the first response, given as soon as the question was asked.)
"Learning science, math, reading, and social studies, and I like my teachers and friends."
"I like hand-writing and the special things we do for holidays, like the STEAM days."
"I like the school lunches, especially hot dogs!"
"Everything!"

Christmas STEAM: The Greatest Gift
We give gifts to express our love and appreciation for others.
Love seeks the highest good of the beloved.
Our motivation for giving gifts should be to do so in honor of the birth of our Savior, who gave us the most precious gift of all — salvation.
On Thursday, December 7th, WCA students and staff will celebrate the birth of our Savior with a Christmas themed STEAM event. Students will participate in several projects that will foster creativity and encourage collaboration through problem solving. Students are encouraged to wear Christmas attire.

One7 Ministries: Angel Tree
In the spirit of the Greatest gift, we are excited to partner with One7 ministries to provide Christmas gifts to four children. This means a lot to the kids, and it is a way to share Christ’s love with them and create memories to last a lifetime. You are a part of creating a special day for these kids, and it will be an incredible experience for them. These moments and memories will be used to point them to someone far greater: Jesus Christ.
Gifts will be collected by classroom teachers. The final day to send gifts is Friday, December 8th. Gifts do not need to be wrapped. Gifts will be delivered to One7 Ministries on Sunday, December 10th.
If you would like to contribute, please click here to sign-up for a gift:

NOTES FROM THE COACH:
We had great competition this past week for the Hawks.
The Middle Schools boys won against Marvin, but were defeated by Fletcher in overtime!
The Middle School girls’ game was cancelled, so we are looking to reschedule.
And finally, the Boys Juniors team played their first game of the season and WON, beating Fletcher in a comeback fourth quarter win!
We have just one game next week – MS Boys at HOME vs. Providence Classical on Thursday, Dec. 7.
Hawk spirit will be soaring, so come out and support the team!!
One, Two, Three, HAWKS!
