Welcome to the last week of February!  We are hard at work preparing for March and Spring events!  The week in between the end of winter sports and the beginning of spring sports is here.  Many students have signed up to try out for a sport.  Try outs will begin March 1st.  Once teams have been decided, the students will be divided up into new PE classes!  Once your child has been placed on a team, it is important to periodically check out the sports schedules on our web page!

Don’t forget that National Junior Honor Society applications and letters of recommendation must be returned to Ms. Fowler by this Friday, February 26, 2010.  There will be no applications accepted after this date!

Last Thursday the middle school students “bought” $400 worth of Girl Scout Cookies to send to our troops overseas.  Congratulations!

Senior Pastor Mark VanGilst from Cornerstone Presbyterian Church spoke to our middle and high school students in a combined chapel last Friday.  The students were blessed with a wonderful message from this former WCS headmaster!!

Next week we are looking forward to hearing from our headmaster Mr. Stevens!

Just a reminder… We are still in the process of raising money for the lockers for the upstairs middle school hallway.  We need $8,600!! We are so close.  Please prayerfully consider donating to the locker fund.

Attention all 8th Grade Parents:  Completed History Day projects are due Thursday, February 25th.  These projects will be set up in the main conference room and available for viewing both Thursday and Friday.  Please stop in and see the finished projects.  Our students have put so much effort into each one.  Judging will take place Thursday evening with results announced Friday morning!

Next week is Tech Week for all participants of our High School Musical. Opening night is Friday, March 5th.  Don’t delay!  Get your tickets!!

March is a very busy month for field trips!  Our sixth grade students will be going to the UPenn Egypt Exhibit on March 16th as part of their Egyptian study.  Our seventh graders will visit the Art Museum on March 9th and the Medieval Times on March 25th.

On March 26th, we will be hosting the second annual Wilmington Christian School/Pike Creek Christian School Combined Fine Arts Festival.  PCCS chorus and band will spend the day with our WCS students practicing together before a combined performance that evening at 7:00 PM.  Everyone is invited to attend the performance!  It is an amazing evening!!

If your student is going to be absent from school or leaving school early, there is a quick and easy way to notify the school.  Visit our school website www.wilmingtonchristian.org and click on “parent.” There are two submission forms that are very important to the middle school office.  The absentee notification and early dismissal forms are invaluable when keeping track of attendance.  Please fill the forms out and submit them when appropriate!

Praying for the Lord’s Blessing on the Week!

When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their […]
