The WCA PTF is excited to host a Grandparents Day celebration on Friday, September 16, from 8:00am to 9:30am.

They will also have the opportunity to view the Sail Away with WCA STEAM projects and shop at the Book Fair. Students with no local grandparents may invite another special older adult. Please do not worry if your child does not have a visitor that day; teachers will handle conversations and visits with inclusive language.

WCA Cross Country

Cheer on the WCA Cross Country team this Monday, September 12 at McAlpine Park. The meet starts at 4pm. Go Hawks!

Volleyball Mission Project

The WCA Volleyball team would like to invite you to their last home game of the season on Thursday, September 22, vs. Lee Park. Instead of collecting money for tickets, they will collect donations for the local animal shelter. CLICK HERE for a list of donation ideas. Thank you for supporting the team and a great cause - Go Hawks!

Marriage Enrichment Class

What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? We invite you and your spouse to join us for a six-week marriage enrichment study as we dive into the book, Sacred Marriage, by bestselling author Gary Thomas. This is a wonderful opportunity to uncover ways that your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God and with each other. The group will engage in guided discussions that will help you shift the focus of your relationship from you and your spouse to you and God. Childcare will be provided. Click here to sign up.
