Today our 4th and 5th graders went to listen to the Baylor Symphony play music from around the world. We love that they are getting to leave campus and experience the gift of music!

We are officially 2 weeks away from our Turkey Trot Fun Run! This is our big fundraiser for the year and it will help us keep our tuition low and supply technology needs for our Pre-K through 8th grade classrooms.

We have had 2 more companies donate to our school! Thank you to Lightrite LLC who donated at our Bronze level and Shortell Spa Repair that donated at our Silver level!

Keep those donations coming in! Your family can send them in the envelope provided or online at: https://woodwaychristianschool.org/paws/thanksgiving/

The WCS Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will start this week, Monday, November 4th and run through Friday, November 8th. All donations from this food drive will benefit First Baptist Woodway’s food pantry (Given in Jesus Name). This FWBC ministry provides food to families throughout our community.

The Thanksgiving Food Drive provides us the perfect opportunity to teach students about giving to the less fortunate and creates a fun competition for them, too.

Prizes will be awarded school wide –

2500 points – movie and popcorn

5000 points – movie, popcorn and a drink

10,000 points – movie, popcorn, drink and candy

PLEASE, PLEASE NO EXPIRED ITEMS!  The middle school students work very hard to get the items ready to move to the pantry, and it makes more work for them to have to throw these items away. The pantry is not allowed to give expired items. 

Below are the items acceptable to be collected for the food drive and the point value of each:

Canned meat (1 pt)

Canned Vegetables (1 pt)

Canned fruit (1 pt)

Boxed Goods such as “Family Size Macaroni & Cheese, Chicken Helper & Tuna Helper (3 pts)

Chili (2 Pt)

Kitchen Essentials such as 5 lb Bags of Sugar, Flour & Cornmeal (3 pts)

Toiletries such as Soap (1 pt per bar), Toilet Paper (1 pt per 2 rolls), Toothpaste (3 pts for large size), Toothbrushes (1 pt), Deodorant (3 pts), Shampoo (3 pts), Paper Towels (1 pt per roll)

$20 gift cards to Walmart or HEB (20 pts.)

As always, thank you for your continued dedication and support of Woodway Christian School.

Let’s have the biggest year yet!
