Class Highlight of the Week
The Second Grade Class has been on a Safari in the Jungle!
Our journey has brought us through Egypt as we study the  life of Moses. We are learning that just as God had a plan to bring the Israelites to the promised land, he also has a plan for our life. We are learning how to be good listeners in class and to become a "bucket filler" by encouraging our classmates and treating each other kindly. We have been busy learning how to write a letter, practice telling time and  counting money. We are working on our addition and subtraction facts, practicing our reading fluency and having fun while learning about magnets. If you plan on visiting us, be careful, it's a jungle in here!

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

WVCS is showing love for Pediatric Cancer Month!

WVCS is dedicated to helping in any way we can so we are going to be collecting food (canned and dry goods) and toiletries 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.

Please bring the items and change to your teachers or to the office. Thank you!

Student Council (STUCO) Announcements!
Dear Parents, 
I am restructuring the Elementary Student Council in order to help them learn and focus on being servant leaders.  I am steering away from President, V. President, etc. and focusing on giving each of them a responsibility within a group and teaching them the value of commitment and follow through with their service.  The students who received the most votes are the group leaders.
