I still cannot believe that we are just days away from summer vacation. My "to do list" seems to be getting longer, not shorter :) I do love this time of the year, the time to celebrate all of the great things the students at WCA have done this year. We just completed successful baseball and softball seasons and I loved watching the camaraderie within the teams. It is moments like these that the WCA family really shines. In two weeks, we will celebrate the graduation of our students from our Early Education Program. It is always a joy to see them on stage dancing and singing together. I can't wait to watch them grow from a little Crusader into a big 8th grade Crusader in (what often seems like) the blink of an eye. I am eager to wish our graduating 8th graders success as they enter high school. I know they all will succeed!!! I welcome you to join us for these special moments..
- Pre-K and Kindergarten graduation - Tuesday, June 13, 9am in the auditorium
- 8th grade graduation - Wednesday, June 15, 5pm at St Ann Church
The children's choir will be performing on Sunday, June 11 at the 10:30am mass at Saint Ann Church which will be followed by the Corpus Christi Procession. Immediately following mass there will be a short procession from the church to the boardwalk. We would love to have a WCA presence at the mass and procession. Please RSVP to me so we can reserve seating for our families at mass.

*Each day there will be a fun art project, using various art media, with a focus on: 1) positive self-image 2) emotion regulation and 3) healthy coping skills. Following the art making, there is a bag lunch and group share time! This is a summer camp and not a therapeutic intervention. Its purpose is to have fun with art, while learning skills related to psycho-education.
Have a wonderful weekend.
