Hey there! The WCA School Calendar 2024–2025? It’s not just dates on paper. Nope. It shows who we are. We’re learners. Teachers. Parents. Friends. All here for one thing: growing together.
At WCA, each year tells a story. You know? From day one to the last day. Every single day adds something new. Courage. Wonder. Care. This calendar? It’s more than times and dates. It’s like our heartbeat. It keeps time with our dreams.
The First Day: Beginnings That Matter
First days always feel fresh. New notebooks. Clean shoes. Kids with big eyes. Teachers stand by doors. They smile at every kid. Parents wave from cars. They’re excited. Proud too.
The halls wake up again. Laughter fills the air. Lockers slam shut. Friends find each other. The whole campus comes alive. It’s magic, really.
By week’s end? Kids already belong here. Clubs start up. Teams practice. Teachers find their groove. The year kicks off. Full of hope. Full of friends. Full of fun.
