WCA has 2 spirit days a month. The first Friday of each month you can support the PTO at either Chick-fil-A in Castle Rock. The third Wednesday of each month you can support the PTO at the Castle Rock Shack Shack. Please mention WCA when ordering.
The purpose of Spirit dress days at school is to promote school pride so the days coincide with the PTO Spirit Days. On Spirit Days, students are encouraged to wear any school-appropriate World Compass Academy spirit top from any WCA club, sport or activity such as Field Day, a STEM trip, a musical or play, etc. Students may also wear school colors, Navy Blue, Kelly Green and White. While students are encouraged to wear school colors and WCA attire on these days, students will not be penalized for wearing free dress attire in other colors.
