🎨🐻 Bear Necessities 21st Century After-School Program Fun! 🐻🎨

One of our fabulous teachers, Mrs. Pickens, came up with the creative idea to host a coloring contest, and our students absolutely loved it! ✏️🖍️

Not only did she organize the contest, but she also purchased all of the adorable “Boo Bag” prizes for each winner! 🎃👻

Mrs. Pickens created four categories, and the winner of each category took home a special “Boo Bag” filled with goodies! 💜

We love seeing our students’ creativity shine and are so thankful for teachers like Mrs. Pickens who go above and beyond to make learning fun and festive! 💫

🐥🐾 Collaboration in Action at WCC! 🐾🐥

We love seeing two of our very own programs, WCC FFA and the WCC Bear Necessities After School Program, come together to create exciting, hands-on learning experiences for our students!

This week, our amazing FFA members partnered with the After School Program to give 1st-grade students the opportunity to explore the life cycle of baby chicks 🐣. From observing to asking questions, our young learners were fully engaged in real-world science in action!

👏 A huge thank you to our FFA students and sponsors for sharing their time and knowledge. When WCC programs work together, students grow, explore, and thrive! 🌱📚

Good afternoon!

After School is canceled today Monday, December 1, 2025, due to weather concerns. School will be released at normal time. We will see your students tomorrow! Stay warm!

Parents, if your child/children receive a food bag, please remember to stop and pick them up today or tomorrow. Thank you!

This afternoon, our 6-12 grade students had the opportunity to hear from Kirk Smalley with Stand for the Silent. After losing his son to suicide at just 11 years old due to being bullied, Kirk has devoted his life to honoring his son by raising awareness, ending bullying, and preventing youth suicide.

We are incredibly grateful for Kirk’s willingness to share his story and mission with our students. A special thank you to Audra Headley, Coby Passmore and Olivia Franks for helping him deliver his message by reading biographies of other students who took their lives.

If you are struggling or need someone to talk to, please reach out to a teacher or visit with one of our school counselors!

“You are Somebody” ❤️

📚🐻 Bear Necessities After-School Fun!

Our 2nd Grade Academic Group had an amazing afternoon after finishing their homework! Students practiced reading and teamwork with an exciting game of Sight-Word Jenga, cheering each other on as the tower grew taller. They also worked hard on CVC word spelling, showing great focus and determination. 🌟

We love watching our Bears learn, laugh, and grow together each day! ❤️
