John Gilliam, owner and founder of Southern Home Design and Construction, began building houses 25 years ago in the Athens area.  He has built his business based on his vision of building homes where quality craftsmanship meets creativity in every project.  As a locally owned design and construction firm, they specialize in transforming spaces through new construction ventures and remodeling and design projects.  The Gilliam family, John and his wife, Ali, and children - Zoe (Class of 2019), Levi (12th) and Emmie (6th) - are members of our Westminster community.  We are honored to partner with them, and deeply grateful for their investment in Westminster's mission and future.  Please take the opportunity to show your support and appreciation to this Elite Level Corporate Partner!

Connection Café ~ 5th Grade Parents Coffee

Tomorrow morning 7:45 - 8:45 in the Tech Lab.

Tomorrow morning's Connection Cafe is designed specifically for our parents of 5th graders as they prepare to transition from the Lower School to the Upper School.  This is an exciting time, but there could be a lot of questions as you're facing this move.  We will talk specifically about what this transition looks like for students and for parents.  There will also be several staff on hand to talk about their roles and answer your questions.  Looking forward to hosting our 5th grade parents on campus!
 

Let's Play!

In partnership with Fresh Wind Recovery, the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy of Westminster is sponsoring a Miles for Smiles 5K on Saturday, May 4th at Wire Park in Watkinsville. Our goal is to raise funds to help with dental care for individuals who have overcome substance abuse and found new life in Jesus. As these individuals seek to become productive members of society and attain employment, they have every reason to smile. All proceeds from the race are going to Fresh Wind in order to aid in their recovery patients’ dental health needs and allow them to smile with confidence.
