As we move into the spring semester, we are making changes that will benefit teachers, parents, and students alike. In an attempt to streamline information, here’s where you can find communication of information from the classroom going forward:
Freshman and Sophomore Parents,
It’s time to start planning for the annual spring trips! A few years ago, we began taking educational trips in the spring semester with all high school grades. Unfortunately, we were not able to go last year due to so many travel restrictions and places closed because of COVID. We are looking forward to the opportunity to resume our trips this spring.
This year, freshmen and sophomores will be going together, as we are able to lower the cost of the trip per person by taking a larger group of students. A specific itinerary will be given in the spring once details are finalized, but here is an overview of what will take place on the trip.
Destination: Cincinnati, OH/Kentucky
Date: Week of February 28-March 4
Cost: ~$700 (The exact cost will be determined after we know how many students are going on the trip, but it should not exceed $700. Parents attending the trip will pay the same amount as the students.)
This trip is a curricular activity intended to supplement classroom instruction by providing a hands-on educational experience. Students who do not attend the class trip will be expected to attend school that week to complete virtual activities to complement the experience their classmates are receiving on the trip. Students not in attendance on the trip or at school will receive unexcused absences from school.
Please complete and return the below form to Mrs. Anderson no later than Friday, December 10. A $50 deposit is due at the same time for anybody attending the trip.
Questions about the trip may be directed to Mrs. Anderson at sanderson@waynechristian.org.

As COVID cases in Wayne County continue to decrease, we have decided to open our campus buildings to parents again. Effective Monday, November 8, parents are welcome to enter our facilities for parties, morning drop-off, early pickups, or lunch with students.
A few reminders as we welcome you back to campus:
Due to space constraints, parents will not be able to attend the upcoming Veteran’s Day Assembly or Christmas Chapel. We will be streaming both of these on our school Facebook page.
As we head into the winter months and the end of the year, several groups and clubs on campus on sponsoring opportunities to give back to our school and the community around us. See below for ways you can get involved in these opportunities.
Fruit Sale
Every fall, the WCS high school students do a fruit sale fundraiser to raise money for their spring class trips. This year, the freshmen and sophomores will be visiting the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky, the juniors will be going to Washington, DC, and the seniors will go to Disney World. The sale runs through November 15, and the fruit is scheduled to be delivered on December 3.
The fruit sale is a great way to help support our high school students, as the money raised by each student will be credited to his/her personal activity account. The fruit sale is provided by WCS, but all proceeds go directly to the students to be used for their trips. Please consider supporting one of our high school students by purchasing fruit. You can talk to a student directly or purchase online at www.FreshFruitOrder.org/WayneChristianSchool.
Operation Christmas Child
The Junior Beta Club is collecting items for Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child. We are asking for each grade level to collect a specific item for the boxes. Items can be dropped off in the lobby of the elementary building as well as the middle school office. Please turn in these items no later than November 9th.
Christmas Adopt a Child
The Junior Beta Club is also collecting money to Adopt A Child for Christmas through the FWB Children’s Home. The approximate cost for one child is $75. If you are able to donate $1.00, this will help Beta Club purchase gifts for children. Beta Club members will purchase gifts, wrap gifts, and make the delivery to Stoney Creek Church. Children will receive their gifts at a Christmas party at the end of November. Please turn in all donations to your child’s homeroom teacher no later than November 17th.
Canned Food Drive
The SGA is hosting a canned food drive at the October 28 home football game, as well as through the month of December. From now through the end of the year, a donor at the Make a Difference Food Pantry is matching donations: $2 for every can donated, $3 for every dry item, and $5 for every boxed item. Donations to the food pantry will have a HUGE impact during this time!
Here is a pantry need list:
WCS Annual Fund
As WCS continues to experience rapid growth, we recognize the work needed to fulfill our mission through investments in curricular and co-curricular programs, facilities, and student life. Investments such as these allow us to best steward existing resources, all with an aim to deliver more for students, faculty, and staff. In the past, the annual fund has provided for projects such as Chromebooks in our classrooms, the outdoor picnic area, updated security and access systems, and new scoreboards for the athletic fields.
We’re asking the WCS community to consider joining us in giving to our Annual Fund campaign as we work to optimize towards full efficiency, delivering an even better experience for our students. You can give online at https://waynechristian.org/annual-fund/ or contact Randi Stroud at rstroud@waynechristian.org for more information about the WCS Annual Fund.
