HEAD OF
SCHOOL’S COMMENT
Wildwood’s Baccalaureate is Sunday, May 15th,
at 3:30 in the Dining Hall! The entire student body,
including your child, will be participating in
this special program of recognition for our 8th
graders, and I hope that you will be in attendance as
well. It is certainly an important celebration for
Brittany, Cameron, Joy, Nick, Susannah and their
families, but it is also a tradition important to all of
Wildwood’s students.
Dr.
William M. Hinson will deliver the Baccalaureate
address. I can assure you that you are in for a treat!
Dr.
Hinson is Vice Chairman of the Haggai Institute in
Atlanta and has previously pastored large churches in
Florida and New Orleans. He has spoken twice in the
Rose Garden of the White House, as well as at the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point. Dr. Hinson was also
selected to represent President Gerald Ford as an
“Ambassador-at–Large” at the XII Winter Olympic Games in
Innsbruck, Austria. A man of many talents, Bill was
named to All-State and All-Southern teams for high
school football and All-City and All-State teams in
baseball.
A
reception hosted by the seventh grade parents will be
held immediately following the service. I look forward
to seeing you on Sunday, the 15th.
