THANK YOU

Thank you to all the parents who helped with Wildwood’s recent Open House: Beth Davis, Barbi Burris, Mike and Jill Taylor, Amy Teague, Jonetta Womack, Bill and Patricia Hopkins, Nancy Fernandez, Kim McCurry, Season Loner, and Misty Reinhardt.  A big Wildwood “Woof” to the faculty and staff, who helped make this event such a success.  Sally Dozier volunteered her time on Saturday to help us, and Joe Disharoon was our “handyman extraordinaire,” who completed countless repairs.  Thanks to you both!

Wildwood appreciates the gift of an outside Wolf thermometer from the Duffy family.  We’ll always know when coats are needed now.

Bob Curry volunteered in our PE classes on Monday and Wednesday. Thanks, Bob!

Thank you to Joy Smith for arranging our special assembly this week: Parrots for Pupils.

What would we do without our trusty helpers for Chapel?  Once again, thanks go to Season Loner for setting up Chapel and the Upper School students for reassembling the Dining Hall after Chapel.

 

HEAD OF SCHOOL’S COMMENT

As a follow-up to Wildwood’s Day of the Heart, I wanted to share comments from a letter sent by Dick Scharf to the 506th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, along with the 15 boxes of goodies assembled by our students:

 

Yesterday I accepted and mailed 15 boxes of fudge, candy and assorted goodies
prepared by the kids at
Wildwood Christian Academy, a K-8 school just outside
the gates to Big Canoe. In accepting for your team, I stated that despite loving your jobs, you all missed three things: watching your kids learn; seeing great happy faces with wonderful smiles; and, hearing children laugh.
I have taken pictures of the load and several of the personal notes contained in the packages. I hope that your troopers will know how much effort these
kids put of themselves into the boxes. It was truly amazing.

 

I also thought that you would enjoy reading some of the responses from members of the 506th:

 

I'm an Engineer assigned to the 506th ECES and as the OIC of Force Protection, it was a privilege to witness the joy your packages brought to the
Force Protection Airman & NCOs. Most are not far removed from High School and
on their 1st deployment, so this was a pleasant surprise and a special treat.

 

I'm deployed from Robins AFB (in middle GA) and a former teacher. Having
volunteered my time at a couple of Christian schools in
Macon, your pictures
were a touch of home for me.

Thank you very much for your generosity.

 

We are forever grateful at your generosity, and at the generosity of the children for remembering us.
 
 It's a very, very special thing to receive goodies from home, especially when
 they come from the hearts and hands of children and teacher. Thank you!

 

Wouldn’t you agree that our students helped these soldiers in Iraq feel supported?
