HAWK TALK

Dec 18 - Jan 5

WCA celebrates Jesus as "the greatest gift".

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!

- Luke 2:11,14

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

-Romans 15:13

CHRISTMAS COOKIE CONUNDRUM:

Mrs. Clause wanted to bake cookies for Santa, but a mischievous elf switched her ingredients. Oh, no! WCA 8th graders came to her rescue. Using scientific methods, they sorted the ingredients and determined which ones Mrs. Clause needed for her cookies. Good job, 8th grade!

GINGERBREAD UPDATE:

The gingerbread men were found! First graders were super excited! An eye witness reported that the gingerbread men were gobbled up quickly up their return.
