Nov 18 - 22

WCA will focus on gratitude and generosity during WCA's Week of Thanks and Giving. Students will have Spirit Week and special activities for gratitude and giving. The Week of Thanks and Giving is also when WCA host's our annual Hawk Fund Campaign. The campaign will kick off on Monday and end Friday. In the spirit of gratitude, we hope all parents and friends of WCA will prayerfully consider supporting WCA's mission by making a gift to the WCA Hawk Fund during the Week of Thanks and Giving. Each donation is significant and makes a difference, regardless of the amount.

Donations to WCA's Hawk Fund support the mission and vision of WCA in various ways. It raises money to support the school's operating expenses, provides resources and educational experiences, and plays a vital role in ensuring the school's stability and sustainability.

More information about the Hawk Fund Campaign will be shared Monday.

We are grateful for your continued prayers and support.

Veteran's Day Chapel or activities?

• I got to see a real Veteran who was in the Air Force.
• It's the best holiday to celebrate those who served and Veterans who died.
• In Chapel, I learned about Veteran's Day and what it means.
• It was cool that a Captain came and talked to us - and she gave us pins, too!
• In Chapel, the Veteran told us that it's important to treat others how you want to be treated.
• I liked hearing what they do to be safe.
• Did you know that hospitals can be on planes?
