Monday Auxiliary Announcements – September 15, 2025
QUICK LINKS
Volunteer:
STAFF APPRECIATION: Our first Staff Appreciation Lunch is Thursday, September 25, 2025. Staff Appreciation Lunch is such a fun way to celebrate and bless the amazing teachers and staff that serve our children every day! This month, we are catering Chicken Salad Chick for our kick-off lunch. If you are able, please use this link to donate specific food items to help make this an extra special lunch. This is a wonderful opportunity to show our gratitude to the teachers and staff of WCGS. Thank you for your generosity!
You can contact Taryn Nelson or Amy Sherrard at wcgs.staffappreciation@gmail.com with any questions.
CHRISTMAS SALE: ’Tis the season to be planning for the Children’s Christmas Sale! We especially need volunteers to join us for set-up on December 4 and cleanup after the sale on December 5. There are also several other opportunities open for the beloved sale on December 5, it’s always such a fun day! Even if you only have 30 minutes, please consider giving your time to help make this fun and festive event possible. Click here to see our updated volunteer and donation opportunities!
JR HIGH PARENTS: We will once again be hosting a Christmas Social for all junior high students the day of the Christmas Sale. The social will consist of crafts, music, games, and snacks. We are in need of donations and volunteers; please click here to sign up.
Join Us:
FALL FELLOWSHIP GATHERINGS: Over the next 2 weeks, each grade will host their Fall Fellowship, and we would like to encourage you to make every effort to attend your class gathering(s). During this informal meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet other parents, ask questions (such as: clarification on Spirit Wear Class Colors, Teacher Blessings Fund and Staff Appreciation Fund Donations, student birthday treats, etc.), and learn more from your Room Parents on how to support your class through volunteer opportunities for the upcoming school year. We greatly appreciate your partnership!
WCGS PRAYER CHAIN: “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15 What a privilege it is to pray for one another in times of suffering and to rejoice with those who rejoice.
How may we pray for you and your family? How may we give thanks to the Lord with you?
Would you like to receive our weekly email and learn more about how to specifically pray for those within our WCGS family? We’d love to have you join over 150 people on this email prayer chain! Contact our Prayer Chain Committee Chair Jodi Bauer at wcgs.prayerandpraise@gmail.com to share a prayer request/praise or to sign up to receive our weekly prayer chain emails.
Highlights and Reminders:
BOX TOPS: Did you know you can connect your Walmart account to your Box Tops for Education (BTFE) account and earn money for the school, with very little effort? In your BTFE App, click on ‘Connected Accounts’ and follow the prompts for Walmart. Whenever you go to Walmart or do a pick-up order (using that same saved payment method), your BT money will automatically be applied to your account. It’s so easy to do–no more scanning (for Walmart only).
Here are some other ways to earn extra BTs this month:
When participants refer a friend and their friend scans a receipt or shops with their Walmart connected account, schools will earn 100 Bonus Box Tops ($10)! Ends 9/30.
We have earned $58.10 so far, and our goal for the school year is $500! 3rd grade is currently leading the school with 28 BTs and 7th grade has 20 BTs. Keep up the great work!
Any questions? Contact Amy Sherrard, wcgs.boxtops@gmail.com. Thank you!
WCGS SPIRIT WEAR: Now is a great time to buy WCGS spirit wear for your kids and yourselves! Last week for the 20% off sale running through September 20. Click here to shop our online store. Enter code WCGS20 to receive the discount. Purchasing spirit wear is a great way to help promote our school and raise funds for the WCGS Auxiliary. The money raised is used to help support the fun events we do throughout the year! If you have any questions, please contact Desiree Chiappetta, Brittney LeDonne, and Amanda Simmons at wcgs.spiritwear@gmail.com.
