HAWK TALK

#WCA20STRONG

STRONG in Gratitude!

We had a wonderful Week of Giving! Our students had fun with our spirit day themes, and through our daily gratitude activities, they learned that gratitude isn't just saying thanks but something we do from our hearts. On Friday, we enjoyed a beautiful Family Thanksgiving Picnic. Thank you for a great week and your gifts to the Hawk Fund that help us enhance students' educational experience at WCA! Donations to the Hawk Fund are on going and can be made at any time by visiting our website at weddingtonchristianacademy.org
