MS “Heads Up” 12-12-2011

Merry Christmas to our WCS families!

May the peace that comes through knowing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord be yours in abundance during this wonderful season.

Congratulations to our middle school students Kate Carney and Emma Whitesel.  After competing against over 250 students, both were chosen to represent WCS in the All-State Junior Band.

We have already had the joy of attending two of our Christmas concerts.  The Elementary Program was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the musical and dramatic talents of our students.  Thanks to the many parents who volunteered to help with the set, costumes, room monitoring, and even baking for the party.

Our final concert, the middle and high school vocal concert, will be held on Thursday, December 15, 2011, at 7:00 PM, in the Fine Arts Auditorium.  Please join us for a wonderful evening of music and visual arts.  We wish to recognize the hard work and dedication of our Fine Arts Department:  Barbara Schiller, director and instrumental music instructor, Kerry Weber, vocal instructor, Dian Sutton, elementary and middle school visual art instructor, and Debbie McNiel, elementary music instructor.  The Lord has blessed us with a wonderful staff!

The ACSI Geography Bee is scheduled for Friday, December 16, 2011, 1:30 PM, in the Fine Arts Auditorium.  Grades 4 – 8 will be competing for the school championship.  The winner will head to Laurel, DE, to compete at the state level.

Our last day of school will be Tuesday, December 20, 2011.  This is a full day of school, but many of the homerooms will be celebrating Christ’s birth with parties at the end of the day.  There will be a middle and high school chapel on this day at 1:16 PM (during 7^th period.)  Our elementary chapel will be on Friday, December 16, 2011, at 9:15 AM, in the Fine Arts Auditorium.  The elementary students will be performing for this chapel. Parents are welcome to both of these events!

School will resume on Wednesday, January 4, 2012.  We pray the Lord’s blessing on your vacation and will anxiously await the safe return of our students.  See you next year!!

In His Service,

Gwen Campbell, Principal
