PTO SPONSORED EVENTS

These are held prior to the first day of school. The Open Houses are specifically for WCA students and their parents (including returning families and new families). Three separate Open Houses are held: elementary, middle school, and high school.

Each year, the PTO sponsors Faculty & Staff Appreciation Week.  During this week, the PTO coordinates five days of activities designed to encourage and uplift our faculty and staff.  Parents and students are invited to participate in a variety of ways.  Some examples include sending notes of appreciation to faculty and staff and contributing baked goods for a staff continental breakfast, among others.

The PTO provides financial support for the purchase of various Early Education Center items, including classroom furniture, toys, books, playground equipment, etc. This support is based upon the involvement of the child care staff and parents in the annual Fun Festival.  Some of the funds from the Fun Festival are shared with the childcare program.

The PTO provides funds in support of a college scholarship which is presented to a WCA senior each spring for outstanding service to the community.  The student selected must have contributed at least 100 hours of service within the past 12 months.

Academic Awards Assemblies are conducted each spring in the elementary, middle, and high school divisions.  During the assemblies, a variety of awards are presented.  The PTO provides funds for the cost of trophies, plaques, and certificates.

The PTO has provided special support to various programs and projects sponsored within the academy, such as Art Impact Day,  Mission Fair,  Wellness Committee Fairs, and Spiritual Emphasis Week.  In addition, the PTO has contributed to the purchase of special equipment, such as sound equipment for the dining hall and middle school gym, and security cameras.  These projects are determined by the PTO based upon requests and available funding.

PTO Fun Festival 

The Fun Festival has been a tradition at WCA for over 35 years and is the largest PTO fundraiser. The activities are primarily designed for preschool and elementary children. Service opportunities are available for middle school and high school students as helpers in the classroom activities. Volunteers are needed to assist with ticket sales at entrances, with gym and outdoor activities, with serving hot dogs and pizza, and dining hall cleanup following the event.
 

PTO Bake Sale

The PTO Bake Sale takes place in conjunction with the Fun Festival. Parents and students donate baked goods which are sold through the school day. Volunteers are needed to assist with setup, sales, and cleanup.

One simple way to help support the WCA PTO is to link your grocery store rewards.

PRAYER

Father, we ask for a powerful and deep work of the Holy Spirit among the administration, teachers, staff, students, and parents of Wesleyan Christian Academy.  We plead that the Holy Spirit will do a powerful and gracious work in our hearts. Holy Spirit, release Your power in this school and meet the particular spiritual needs of the administration, teachers, staff, students, and parents of Wesleyan Christian Academy. May You be glorified!  Amen! 

So If You Faithfully Obey The Commands
I Am Giving You Today – To Love The Lord 
Your God And To Serve Him With All Your
Heart And With All Your Soul. 

Deuteronomy 11:13
