STRONG & Faithful Teachers


WCA is blessed to have teachers passionate about making WCA a place where high academic rigor is matched by active faith and a deep commitment to caring for our school family. Every teacher, and staff member, has a story of how God led them to serve at WCA. As you know, teachers at our school are much more than teachers; they are in ministry to serve the whole child and their family. 


Teachers and staff are the strength of our school; they pray continuously for and with students. Your WCA staff meets early every Wednesday for the sole purpose of praying and seeking God's Guidance. Have you noticed that carpool starts a little late on Wednesdays? Sometimes, prayers can be a little "winded," but your staff is passionate about their love for God and our WCA family. Thank you for your patience and grace in the carpool line.


In addition to prayers, your staff seeks to grow deeper in their faith together. The team just finished studying Win the Day by Mark Batterson. Together, we explored practical steps for living boldly, accomplishing more, and seizing hold of God-sized dreams. In our next study, Live in Grace. Walk in Love by Bob Goff, we will finish the year reflecting on how we can step out in love and confidence as we follow Jesus daily.

Operation Sandwich UPDATE!


Don’t forget to sign-up and plan on making sandwiches for our homeless friends and neighbors. Plan to drop your sandwiches in the morning carpool on Monday, February 14th. So far, we have committed to making almost half of the 800 sandwiches needed. Your children will learn about this mission in Chapel this upcoming week. Take lots of pictures of your family making sandwiches and share them with us! Thank you for giving love this February.

ACSI Day of Prayer


The ACSI Day of Prayer is an annual event that advances Christ-centered education by advocating through prayer. This year's theme is "Shalom." Shalom is more than a Hebrew greeting. It is contentment found in Jesus no matter the cultural tides encircling us. On February 15th WCA will unite globally with other schools to pray and unleash the Lord's shalom into this world. This single day of prayer will be powerful, and we are thankful for our WCA 7th and 8th graders that have faithfully stepped up to be our Day of Prayer leaders. Their plans include four prayer stations for classes to visit. Each station will have a prayer topic, an interactive experience, and encouraging scriptures that support the Shalom theme. Our station topics will be adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. #schoolsthatpray

STEAM DAY - WCA's Invention Convention

February 23 - February 25


We are celebrating God's gift of imagination! In our upcoming STEAM days, students will be learning more about how God uses the gift of imagination to make the world a better and more fun place! Each class will learn about inventors through research and class discussion and then put their own imaginations to work by building their inventions. 


Parents, mark your calendars to join us in the gym on Friday, February 25 at 2 pm. Each class will have a display table where our students will be presenting their inventions. After presentations, parents may take their student(s) outside for some WCA family fellowship time. Stay tuned for more information. Plans are in the works for a few food and coffee trucks to join us!


We need lots of materials so our kids can create some exciting inventions. Please click the supply list link below and start gathering some of the listed recyclable items or sign up to purchase and send in some other needed items. Please send in your saved and purchased items February 16-18th. Children can drop their items off in their classrooms.

Upper School Chapel


Upper School Chapel students, 5th - 8th grade, recently completed the video series by Sadie Robertson Huff, Fire and Faithfulness. At Chapel this week, they participated in a carousel activity discussing how their relationship with God influences others, remaining faithful, and applying what they have learned from this series to make changes in their lives.

Lower School Chapel


Our Lower School Chapel students, 1st - 4th grade, are learning the fun new song "I'm Trusting You" (2019 Roar VBS Theme Song) by Group Music. It has fun dance moves and great lyrics that inspire students to follow God. Take a look...

As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, and abounding with thanksgiving.
