Wallaceburg Christian School

WCS Community Challenge

Wallaceburg Christian School’s 2008-2009
Our Theme: “Suited for Service”

This year the teachers of WCS are encouraging our students to serve others throughout the year. However, we would like to take it a step farther by extending this mission to all parts of the WCS community:

Teachers, Parents, Students, Alumni, Non-Parents Supporters, Grandparents, and so on

Goal: To reach 10,000 hours of service for others

Definition: Time given to others in any form that does not gain financial value

If reached: The Principal, Mr. Alblas, will suit up in a full suit of armour and walk from his home to the school and teach for the day in the armour.
