WCHS April Newsletter

April 2018

Time to Serve

Isaiah 49:6b “I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

As you receive this newsletter, 99 students and 23 adults will be digging, sharing, painting, cleaning, singing, building, and presenting God’s love to the people of Belize and Alaska. Eight teams are investing in others and putting their own comforts aside. It’s this type of trip that actually puts our faith into action in such a way that develops lifelong character, a strong work ethic, and punctuated spiritual growth.

What a special opportunity to develop traits of service and character among our students each year on these trips. Many of you have sent your student faithfully on this trip and others have agreed to faithfully support and pray for our students while they’re gone. I want to say “thank you” to all of our prayer partners, supporters, and parents. Don’t forget to follow along to see what God is doing!

Nathan D. Lambert, Woodcrest Christian High School Principal

WCS Students Present to Riverside City Council

Woodcrest Christian students, whose team projects won first, second, and third place in the 2nd annual Riverside Law Enforcement and Public Safety (LEAPS) STEM program held this past summer, were invited to present their projects to the Riverside City Council on Tuesday, March 20, 2018.

Two of the projects were presented by five Woodcrest Christian students to Mayor Rusty Bailey and City Council members, and included the following:

1st place project: Students proposed the idea of developing a device that would silence car radios when police or fire truck vehicles with sirens were approaching.
2nd place project: Students proposed the idea of creating a mobile app that can interpret sign language for use by 1st responders with hearing impaired victims.

Tech News

One of our parents recently recommended an app to help parents monitor their student's technology. This app is called BARK, but there are several others out there like it! In light of our guest speaker this past month bringing to light the potential dangers in the tech world today, it is important for every parent to consider what might be helpful and appropriate for their family!
