Have you met 6th grade leader Jamie Arola yet?
We just love Jamie! She’s on her third round of being a Middle School Leader. She’s currently a leader for our 6th grade girls. Her husband Andy is also a leader. They have a 4 year old golden retriever named Bauer. Jamie grew up in Minnetonka and then went to Medical Assisting school. Her favorite food is bacon or mac ‘n’ cheese and her hobbies are hockey, going to the cabin and spending time with her family. Her favorite part of WCC is the community. She would like Middle School Parents to know “Thank you for being committed to your kids finding a safe space.”
Want to earn money for Retreat, Mission Trip or Summer Camp?
Middle Schoolers are running the Wizard of Oz Concessions on Friday, March 16 (5:45-10:15pm), Saturday, March 17 (12:45-5:15pm) and Sunday, March 18 (12:45-5:15pm) and a fundraiser for faith formative experiences! We will sell flower, snacks, and drinks before the show, during intermission, and after the show. Middle Schoolers that sign up will earn $40 towards their choosing (middle school retreat, mission trip or summer camp) and a reserved seat to see the show! We need 5 middle schoolers for every show and would love 2 adults for every show (adults earn money for their middle schooler too!).

Last weeks Happenings:
WEDNESDAY CROSSROADS
We enjoyed a fun night offsite playing whirlyball and laser tag!!!
SUNDAY SEEDS
We talked about Jesus walking on water and that God often knows that situations we face will be hard but they will strengthen our faith and relationship. God is with us as we are going through the storm and is always there to be called upon! Woah! Then we created our own games about this miracle.

Where’s CBW?
I LOVE SEEING WHAT MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUTSIDE OF WCC but getting their event schedule is pretty challenging sometimes! I need your help, please let me know about your middle schooler’s events (THINK PLAYS, GAMES, MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, SHOWS, SCHOLAR COMPETITIONS, ETC!)
Here’s how you can let me know about upcoming dates:
- Put a note in the Where’s CBW Mailbox in the Middle School Corner at WCC OR
- Fill out this quick 5 questions request to let me know when and where to go.
Thanks for letting me know! I try my best to make it to their events when I know about them.
