New Moms' Coffee

Is this your first year at Westminster? Then you are invited to join us for our New Moms' Coffee next Tuesday, August 27th. This time of fellowship will begin at 8 am in the Administrative Building.
So, drop the kid(s) off and take a few minutes for yourself to enjoy a cup of coffee, conversation and a delicious treat!
Parents' Prayer Time
One of the most important things we can do for our community is to cover it with prayer. A group of WCA parents meets once a week to do just that - pray for our students, faculty, staff and families.
All Westminster parents are invited to join together on Thursday mornings beginning September 5th. This time of prayer is held in the Tech Lab (located in the administrative building) beginning at 7:35 and ending at 8:00. Can't make it every week? Then please come whenever your schedule allows. Your presence will be greatly appreciated!
Connection Cafe
We are excited to announce a new event designed to be an avenue of communication with our families regarding programs and initiatives at Westminster. And, of course, this is best done over a good cup of coffee!
The first Connection Café will take place on Friday, September 6 at 7:50 am in the Tech Lab (Administrative Building). At this first meeting, Mr. Clark will be sharing with you plans for the expansion of our campus and facilities. Please mark this on your calendar and join us to learn more about the exciting opportunities for our school and community. We look forward to seeing you there!
Work Crew Volunteers Needed
The upper school students get to go on retreat to learn and have fun. The parent volunteers get to go on retreat as well, but there's one stipulation . . . they have to work!
We need a few more parent volunteers to help with our Upper School Impact Retreat coming up September 25th - 27th. Volunteer duties mostly revolve around preparing and serving meals. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Tollie Ediger, tediger@wcalions.org.
Thank you for your consideration!

Following successful treatment, Kim is having scans every three months to verify the absence of disease. Her next scan is in September. Thank you for remembering her husband, Steve and their children (Ben - Class of 2018, Anna - 11th, Cary - 8th and Ella - 4th) during this time.
