Looking for Opportunities to Serve WBA Scholars?
At WBA, we recognize the value of our fathers and their impact on scholar's lives. Not all of our students, however, get to experience this impact. For this reason, we began a mentor program specifically for our WBA Dads! Simply, fill out the form in the link and Ms. Alverson will contact you regarding opportunities to serve! Thank you so much for building future leaders!
We love having parents involved in the daily happenings on campus. We have opportunities for you all to serve as support for our learners for 30 minutes to 1 hour, 4 days a week. If this interests you, fill out this form and Ms. Alverson will be glad to fill you in on these important opportunities!
Thank you,
Ms. Alverson

A Message from the Nurse
Accidents happen! All students should have a change of clothes in their backpacks or locker because our scholars may experience restroom accidents, lunch accidents, or get into mud or dirt outside during recess.
The change of clothes should include shorts/pants, a t-shirt, socks, and underwear.
The clinic is in need of boys' and girls shorts and pants sizes 6/7, 7/8, and 8/10. Consider donating gently used shorts and pants to the clinic. You can drop it off in the front office.
Thank you,
Nurse Jill
