SCHOLARSHIP AUCTION & TRIVIA NIGHT, NOVEMBER 13, 6:30 p.m.: We anticipate a great turnout at this year’s Scholarship Auction on November 13! Be on the lookout for sneak peeks of some of the auction items in the days ahead. There is an awesome variety of things to bid on! Thank you to everyone who has donated items, offered sponsorships, contributed to a homeroom basket, or recruited friends to join the fun. There is still time to donate, sponsor, and RSVP, but the time is now! Online bidding opens November 7. Dinner & Trivia will be in groups of 8. You can reserve a table with friends or come ready to meet new people. There is no charge to attend. We hope you can join us for a vibrant evening to Gather, Give, and Glorify, all for the great cause of making Christ-centered education more available.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY: Grandparents’ Day is almost here! We eagerly anticipate welcoming hundreds of grandparents onto our campus on Tuesday, November 24, from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. This is a special day when grandparents will fill the building, enjoy delicious refreshments, view a program designed just for them, and most importantly, spend a sweet time in your child’s classroom. We understand that not every student has grandparents who are able to attend, so if that is the case, we encourage you to reach out to a “grand friend” and invite them to come and spend the day with your child(ren). Grandparents in attendance are also wonderful about including extra kids without grandparents with them in the classroom for any activities! We need your help hosting this event, including volunteers who will send in baked goods, park cars as valet drivers, serve food/coffee, welcome guests as they enter and find classrooms, etc. With the new addition last year and over 700 grandparents in attendance, we need more help than ever!
SIGN UP to help or contribute to this special day. Thank you in advance for your willingness to volunteer! Please note, classroom teachers/room parents will organize minimal individual classroom help so this sign-up does not include that. For questions, please email us at auxiliaryevents@wheatonchristian.org or text/phone Kendra Painter at 630-660-8809 or Bethany Shaver at 630-234-9397.
BOOK FAIR: The BOOK FAIR is coming and we need YOU! Opportunities to help include set-up on November 16 and 17 before the sale begins, as well as helping with sales and book selection before, during, and after school on November 18, 19, 20, and 23. There will also be volunteers needed at our WCGS Family Night on Thursday, November 20, and Grandparents’ Day on Tuesday, November 24. If you are able to volunteer, please sign-up HERE. Classes will be coming during their normal library time which is listed in the sign up. Additional information for KE, 3rd and junior high will be added to the SignUp Genius as it is confirmed with teachers. Any questions, contact Rachel Engeltjes or Jessica Norman at: auxiliaryadvisor@wheatonchristian.org.
