Director's Blurb
WDS Sunday is June 10th at 11:00. Our WDS students will lead the service with songs they have sung in chapel this year. The time we spend in worship here at WDS is very important to our students and staff. It gives us all a chance to stop and remember what is so very important and to appreciate that chance we have been given by God to come together and share. Here is a year in review of our chapel lessons for the year!
· September: Light and Dark
WDS students set a good example for others and encouraged good choices.
· October: Water and Sky
Like Noah, WDS students trust God and leaders, and listen to and follow directions.
· November: Earth and Plants
WDS students respect God’s creation and nurture and encourage growth in others.
· December: Star of Bethlehem
WDS students lead others to God, and also follow with patience (like the Wise Men).
· January: Sun, Moon, and Stars
When you wish upon a star, dreams come true! WDS students encourages the dreams and wishes of others.
· February: Birds and Fish
Just like a school of fish or a flock of birds, WDS students can do more together through team work as a group.
· March: Animals
Just like momma bears and their cubs, WDS students take care of and look out for one another in their school family.
· April: Humans
Just as Jesus loves all the children, so do WDS students love one another. They show this by including everyone!
· May: Rest
Our mindfulness actions at WDS help us to stay calm in challenging situations.
Please plan on attending WDS Sunday with your child on Sunday, June 10th and wear your WDS Spirit Wear or our WDS colors—blue and green! Please help WDS shine with your support!
