Letter of Welcome
Dear Parents,
Rearing children in today’s society is certainly an awesome challenge. It has become increasingly difficult to transfer traditional values of God, country, and family to our children as society continues to send messages and images that contradict those hallowed principles.
By choosing Wilmington Christian Academy for your family’s educational needs, you have demonstrated a commitment to “training up your child in the way he (or she) should go.” You have indicated a willingness to sacrifice for the good of your family. You are setting a priority that shows your desire to rear a young future leader who cares about home, church, and education.
We take seriously the trust that you have placed in us. We commit to you to do our best in educating your child in a superior way: not just academically, but spiritually, emotionally, morally, and intellectually. Please pray with us as we assume this significant responsibility.
We also recognize that you, as parents, are the ultimate authority, as designed by God, in your homes. We will be praying for you as we recognize the role parents play in a well-rounded education for your children.
Finally, no education is complete without spiritual instruction. It is our hope that you are active in a strong, Bible-preaching church that supports the family. Without this important facet, any family’s effort at a complete education will fall short. If you do not have a church home, I hope you will consider visiting the sponsoring church of Wilmington Christian Academy. Grace Baptist Church remains committed to the values and principles found in God’s Word and their effect on our home, school, and lives.
May God bless you and your family in the year to come.
Sincerely,
Cathy Dotson, Ed.D.
Elementary Principal
