THANK YOU for giving!

WCA had a great Week of Giving! Through the daily gratitude activities, they got to give to others, both nearby and far away.

Students also got to dress up each day with our fun spirit day themes.

• WCA students donated 388 pounds of canned goods to the Community Shelter
• 186 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes were filled for children around the world.

WCA wrapped up the week with a wonderful performance by the JK and Kindergarten students in the church sanctuary.

As of Thursday, $10,000 had been donated to the Hawk Fund with 25% of WCA families participating. Thank you for the generous gifts that help us enhance students' educational experiences at WCA! Final totals will be shared in the next Hawk Talk.

The receiving of donations to the Hawk Fund is ongoing. Donations can be made anytime.

PTF and WCA hope you and your family

have a safe and happy Thanksgiving Break.

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 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:

Registration deadline for the Christmas Craft Club is Friday, Nov 24.

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
