One of our Portrait of a Graduate traits is “compassionate contributor.” Our goal is that students would recognize all they have been given is a gift from God and for His glory alone, respond with a grateful attitude, and be generous in action—seeking to help those who cannot help themselves. Our students have demonstrated this in multiple ways over the last month. The Lady Lions Volleyball program hosted its annual Pink Night in October to raise awareness for breast cancer. The day kicked off with students, faculty, and staff members being able to wear pink for the day for a minimum...

Grades 3–6 participated in Digital T.H.I.N.K. Week, led by PREP Principal Dr. Rebekah Owens. The purpose of this week was to help students make thoughtful and positive choices with technology while recognizing that their choices affect their community and themselves.

​​Dear WA Community,  Our family has been afforded the opportunity to live in various parts of the county. While we have enjoyed each stop, every location requires adjustment. For example, one doesn’t need to order grits with breakfast or specify what kind of iced tea in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Both are assumed. In Chicago, pizza generally comes one way—as a pie, not thin. One thing we appreciated about Lexington, Kentucky, our hometown, was that the year has all four seasons—fall, winter, spring, and summer. South Florida, on the other hand, has only two—tourist and hurricane. Perhaps seasons are on my mind...
