Easter at WCA

First Grade's Easter Egg Hunt

336 eggs were filled with coins students collected through the year for their mission project, "Pennies for Orphans", supporting orphanages around the world. 7th Grade reading buddies helped students count the coins.

JK's Resurrection Rolls

A marshmallow was inserted and sealed between two layers of dough to represent Jesus being laid in the tomb. (Then topped with butter, cinnamon, and sugar.) After baking, the young bakers discovered that their "tomb" was empty. Jesus had risen!

Healthy Hawks Fun Run

Final Update

WCA families,

We are truly amazed by the participation of families and funds raised with last week's Healthy Hawks Fun Run. With the break in the weather, students' enthusiasm, fellowship among those who came to cheer, and the generosity shown, we couldn't have asked for a better day. God was at work blessing WCA and furthering His plans for our school's future.  

The total amount raised was $25,020.00!

Thank you to all who were a part of this wonderful event!

Gratefully,

The WCA PTF

OPERATION SANDWICH

Thank you for your support!

WCA Hawks observed Holy Week by making 2,044 sandwiches to feed our homeless brothers and sisters. The sandwiches will be donated to Roof Above in uptown Charlotte and the Community Shelter of Union County. 

Thank you to all the volunteers and those who provided supplies

so that WCA students could be the hands of Jesus!

 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ - Matthew 25:40
