Good Evening Parents,

Thank you for the many prayers and condolences shared with me over this past month. It is truly one of the great blessings of being part of the loving community here at WCS.

Although March 27 may seem far away, it will be here before we know it. That is the date of our annual Service Day. Last year was a tremendous success, with many meaningful projects completed on campus. This year, we are excited to expand our efforts by partnering with the City of Woodland for a service project at the Woodland Cemetery.

To make this day as successful as last year, we will need your help. We are looking for volunteers to assist teachers on campus, as well as parents who are willing to help drive and supervise our 8th graders at the cemetery. If you are able and willing to serve, please visit our SignUpGenius to sign up.

Our next Donut Day will be held on February 18. All proceeds will support our ASB program. If you would like to donate donuts, please sign up using the link provided.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

End of the Year BBQ and Water Day May 29th

We’re excited to once again wrap up the school year with our annual End-of-the-Year BBQ & Water Day!

For the past several years, this has been one of our favorite traditions — a fun way to celebrate all that God has done this year and enjoy time together as a school community.

Students will enjoy:

• Hamburgers and hot dogs

• Chips, snacks, and ice cream

• Water slides

• Dunk tank and other inflatables

• Grass volleyball and Gaga ball

It’s sure to be a fun-filled Friday!

Cost: $27 per student.
Please use the attached form to register, or drop off cash/check at the school office.

I will also be sending out a SignUp Genius soon for parents who would like to come observe, join in the fun, or help with the BBQ.

Please let me know if you have any questions — we’re looking forward to a great day together!

Lunch Supervision

We can always use help at lunch supervising the students. Thank you to those who have already volunteered with this. It has been much appreciated! Lunch Supervision SignUp Genius

Yearbook

This year Lindsay Hardin and Jennifer Prado have volunteered to produce this year's yearbook. Since they can't be everywhere at one time, they would appreciate pictures that you may take at any school event. You can email them with your pictures  at: woodlandchristianMSyearbook@gmail.com

A new year can sometimes be a new beginning. This is what is so great about Middle School. You get to start fresh each year and each semester. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us of this as Jeremiah tells us - 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]

    his mercies never come to an end;

23 they are new every morning;

    great is your faithfulness.

My prayer for all is that each and every family would treasure the love and faithfulness of God and the promise of eternal mercy and grace made possible through the life, sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

4 C's to focus on for the rest of the semester.

1) Consistent attendance,

 2) Consistent homework turned in.

 3) Consistent time studying for tests. 

4)  Consistent check of  FACTS to monitor the progress of your student

Please encourage your child to make use of their planner so that you can see what needs to be done and what needs to be studied. 

FACTS

Don't forget that FACTS is a helpful tool in keeping track of what is going on in the classroom. If you have yet to download the family app please see the tutorial at the bottom of this home page.
