Class Highlight of the Week
Third Grade Shows LOVE and Support for Pediatric Cancer ♥
In chapel, we are focusing on showing LOVE this month. In honor of our focus on LOVING others, our school us supporting Cancer Awareness month by tie-ing yellow ribbons on our playground fences, to show we care! We are also excited to be collecting canned goods and $ for purchasing Bibles to give to the many families who stay at The Ronald McDonald House while receiving treatment. 3rd grade was excited to tie a yellow ribbon and to show God's LOVE to the many families affected with pediatric cancer. 


And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.



Character Counts at WVCS! 
In Honor of Our September Character trait...LOVE!

We are so excited to announce a FANTASTIC SERVICE OPPORTUNITY for our school.
We have learned that there is a child in our Kindergarten who is dealing with Cancer. The family has spent so much time living at the hospital and has connected with so many families of other children who have Cancer. Most 
of 
 those 
families' funds go to hospital bills, so the necessities like food are hard to come by. I cannot imagine being a parent who has to watch their child go through this horrible disease. However, with Jesus (and helpers like you) they can 
have hope and encouragement!

WVCS is dedicated to helping in any way we can so we are going to be collecting food (canned and dry goods) for the month of SEPTEMBER. We are also asking that you send in your change so we can buy children's bibles for the children in the hospital.
