The senior class will host this respectful and reflective event, when all school families and students are invited to bring flowers to place on the cross.
This year’s ceremony will begin with prayer, led by a 12th grade student, for our mission teams going out during spring break, one to New York City and the other to the Dominican Republic. Representatives from the senior class will read scripture while soft music is played by senior Hannah Laurel on keyboard. During this time, classes from preschool through 12th grade will each come forward with flowers. The high school choir will close the ceremony with a song.
Congratulations to WCA’s Middle School Odyssey of the Mind team, who received third place in their division in the 30th Annual Regional Odyssey of the Mind Tournament on Feb. 25. The tournament was held at Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth, Va.
WCA’s team was assigned a problem called “Ooh-Motional Vehicle,” which required teams to design, build and drive a vehicle that would travel a course where it encountered three different situations. The vehicle was to display a different human emotion for each encounter and one would cause it to travel in reverse. Teams created themes for their presentations that incorporated the vehicle and the different emotions. The emphasis was on the technical risk-taking and creativity of the vehicle’s engineering for travel and change of emotional appearance.
Faculty coaches for WCA’s team were Mrs. Beth Fletcher and Mrs. Eunice Clark.
WCA will be participating in Virginia’s statewide tornado drill on Tuesday, March 20. The tornado drill is sponsored by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
