Posted on April 9th, 2013

The Legacy Dinner Auction is next Saturday, April 20th, from 5:30-8:30pm.
All the questions you didn’t know you had can be answered below. Scan the bold :) .

Can I still RSVP?

Yes. You can absolutely still RSVP. This event becomes more fun with every person and you don’t want to miss out. You can either mail or bring in your completed response card or you can RSVP online at www.westernchristian.org/legacy . Technically, the cutoff for RSVPs is tomorrow, but if you can get in your RSVP by the end of the week you’ll be good to go. Please feel free to call Kathy Scheenstra at 909-291-4717 or email auction@westernchristian.org if you have any questions.

Gosh that sounds like a lot of work. Can’t I just go to the office and buy my tickets?

You bet you can. You can purchase tickets from the main offices of each campus for $20 a ticket.

So there will be tickets? Yes. How do I get them?

If you have sent in your RSVP card and paid, your tickets should arrive in the mail shortly. We tried to make things as easy as possible this year. When you arrive at the event, simply present your tickets and you will receive a bid number/program. No more forms to fill out!

I RSVP’d online but haven’t paid yet. How do I get my tickets?

For online RSVPs you can send in a check or pay online at www.westernchristian.org/tickets. If you pay by this week, you will get your tickets in the mail. If for whatever reason you don’t please check in at the WILL CALL line. If you are unable to pay by the end of this week, you can pay at the WILL CALL check-in line at the event.

    • 5:30 Check In Opens
    • 6:30 Lancer Auction Closes (Outside)
    • 6:45 Hope Auction Closes (Outside)

  • Dinner & Live Auction (Inside)
    • 7:00 Dinner & Raffle

What is the attire for the night?

Business Casual. Our Silent Auction will begin outside, so bring a coat just in case :) .

Does the school still need items for the auction?

Yes please! Can’t hurt. Donations for the auction are always welcome. The more auction items, the more fun, and the more money raised for students. Please email Kathy Scheenstra at auction@westernchristian.org to coordinate your donation.

What can be expected in the auction?

Our evening will include a silent auction, raffle prizes, and a live auction. The auctions and raffles feature generous items or services donated from our community. Highlights in the auction include class and team created baskets, concert and sport tickets and memorabilia, front row seating at graduations and special events, reserved campus parking , vacations, various luxury items, and other items and services you won’t want to miss out on. One of the highlights of this year’s raffle will be an iPad mini. Students and parents can now begin purchasing $10 raffle tickets in the main office of each campus.

What are we raising money for?

Proceeds from the Legacy Diner Auction will be used towards tuition assistance, creating opportunity for students to experience meaningful, transformational learning. Your support at this event will allow our youth to experience the hope and future they have in Jesus Christ. There is nothing more meaningful than an education that connects students with their God-given purpose. Graduates leave WCS with hope, a quality education, and an informed faith in the Word of God. The bottom line is: The world needs more Western Christian Graduates.

What’s for dinner?

The evening will begin outside with Hors d’ oeuvres served during the silent auction. Following the close of our silent auctions, dinner will be served inside and include Penne Pomodoro, Lasagna Di Carne, served with freshly backed garlic bread and Caesar Salad. Dinner will be served inside. No meal would be complete without incredible amounts of junk food. Please enjoy the candy bar available throughout the evening.

Is there assigned seating?

There is not assigned seating for this event. When we begin the dinner portion of the night you will be free to sit wherever you can find an available seat. There are certain tables that will be reserved for our table hosts and their guests. These tables will have signs to identify their hosts. If you’d like to avoid the hassle of finding a seat, you can save your seat early or take advantage of our table host opportunity.

I am hosting a table. Are there any special instructions for my guests?

If you are hosting a table, please inform your guests to register for a bid number at the WILL-CALL line.

Hey, I want to host a table too! How do I do that?

Those who wish to pledge a thousand dollars or more to Western Christian are offered the opportunity to host a table of up to ten guests. Please email Kathy Scheenstra at auction@westernchristian.org if you are interested in this opportunity.

Where do I park?

Please see the attached map which will show you parking, childcare drop off, and event locations.

Can my children attend with me?

I think your children would get really bored : ). This event is intended for adults. Our free child care will provide a much more fun venue for your children.

FREE CHILD CARE

How do I sign up for child care?

If you would like to take advantage of child care for the night, please fill out the section for childcare on your RSVP card.

Who is doing child care?

Child care will be supervised by our own Ms. Susan Moreno and two other daycare personnel along with two preschool teachers who will watch over the little ones. We have also handpicked student volunteers who will make sure all the kids have a blast.

Where will child care be taking place?

Child care will take place in the Upland preschool just off of the main parking lot of our Upland campus. If it begins to get crowded, we will use some of our high school classrooms for the older kids.

Will there be a check in/out procedure for child care?

Of course. We are going to keep these kids as safe as possible. Please check your children into child care by the Upland preschool after you park your car. You will be able to check them out from the same location.

How will the age groups be broken up?

With allowances for family flexibility, we will have four groups – Preschool, K-2, 3-5, and Middle School.

Will my child be fed?

Only if they eat pizza. So, yes. There will be dinner and snacks provided.

What will they be doing?

There will be every opportunity for you children to have fun this night. We will be coordinating games indoors and outdoors and there will be plenty of activities for your children to take advantage of.

Can my child bring anything with them?

Kids are welcome to bring any appropriate form of entertainment they wish including DSs or iPods. Please keep in mind that the school cannot be held responsible for any lost or damaged items, so please use discretion with what you send with your child.

2012 Grandparents Day at Western Christian Schools

Posted on November 29th, 2012

Grandparents are one of God’s great blessings to families.  Grandparents Day is a long standing tradition of honoring these valuable individuals. Western Christian Schools PK-8 campus held Grandparents Day on Nov. 2nd and the high school’s Grandparents Day took place on Nov. 29th.

K-8 grandparents were treated to breakfast  followed by performances from each grade (Pre-K through 8).  The students took turns singing songs or sharing verses and stories.  The day culminated in the classrooms where the students were able to interact with their grandparents via tours, conversations, laughing, working on crafts together, and learning more about each other.

At the high school, Grandparents Day began with a time of worship and praise followed by a special presentation by Dr. Paul Kienel, a former WCHS grandparent and co-founder of ACSI.  Afterwards, Grandparents enjoyed lunch with their grandchildren as all engaged in the joy of Western fellowship.

WCHS Drama Department Takes on Shakespeare

Posted on November 7th, 2012

The Tony award winning Utah Shakespeare Festival, the largest acting competition in the country, proved to be an event filled with excitement, encouragement, and renewal.  Students from all over the west went to compete and learn about Shakespeare, acting, signing, and dance.  Among the great crowd of challengers, Western Christian High School’s Drama Department placed an impressive fourth overall in the competition, and not only that…  they placed in the top ten in every event in which they were entered.  Wow! What amazing, exciting, and praiseworthy talent the students have.  Congratulations Drama Team!

Before this incredible trip, the Visual and Performing Arts Department launched its year with a fabulous evening entitled, “A Sweet Taste of Shakespeare.”  Parents, students, and faculty enjoyed an art show with art in different mediums by our Art teacher, Mrs. Garside – whose works remain on permanent display at the New York City Public Library.  They were then treated to performances from Shakespeare’s great plays, a large scale dance number, and songs from Shakespeare’s era, and the hymn/worship music genre.  The evening was a fundraiser for the trip to Utah.

Harvest Festival 2012

Posted on October 18th, 2012

Wow!  What an evening – filled with fun, fellowship, food, and families.  The Lord supplied us with a fantastic night together.  You could see the joy in everyone’s eyes.  Whether it was at the “dino dig,” “ring toss,” “potato sack race,” or any of the other activities, the families had fun exploring all of the booths.  The event gave everyone an opportunity to come together and celebrate the blessings the Lord has provided.  Great to see everyone there – see you next year!
