Christmas Concert
Next week Westside Christian High School’s music department will be hosting our Annual Christmas Concert.
Enjoy an evening of Christmas music as Westside's Music Department presents a YouTube Live Premiere of "A Westside Christian Christmas: Christ is Coming to the Earth this Night" on Tuesday, December 15th, at 7:00 p.m.
The concert will feature live recorded footage of this year’s Concert Choir, Soli Deo Gloria, Concert Band, and Ignite Worship Team, singing and playing selected Christmas favorites, as well as a few other selections.
We hope you will join us to celebrate these students and this season. You will be able to access the link on the day of the event (Tuesday, December 15th) at wchsonline.org and Westside Christian’s Facebook page.
Elf on the Shelf
Thank you to the WCHS Cheer team for putting together the fun Elf on the Shelf event this week. Ginger the elf will hide throughout the school each day. The first student to take a photo with Ginger the Elf and show it to the front office will win a prize. Play each day this week.
Athletics
The OSAA Executive Board voted to extend Season 1 through February 21, 2021 to allow training, workouts, and even competitions to occur in those areas of the state that are allowed per the Governor’s Office, OHA guidance, and local school district policy.
Fall sports moved to Season 2, which begins on February 22nd and ends April 11th with multiple activities permitted by state guidance. This change allows time for case counts to decrease in the new year and for counties to subsequently move out of the Extreme Risk category. Cross Country and Soccer, like outdoor sports, are permitted by the Governor’s Office and OHA in all counties. As an indoor activity, Volleyball is tied to the Governor’s County Risk Level Guidance and only allowed in counties deemed as Lower, Moderate, or High Risk.
Season 3 will take place from April 5th to May 23rd and feature the traditional Spring activities, which include WCHS’ Baseball, Golf, Tennis, and Track & Field. All of these activities are permitted by state guidance as outdoor activities.
The sports calendar wraps up with Season 4 from May 10th to June 27th. This shifts WCHS Basketball to the end of the calendar and provides the most runway for their prohibition to be lifted by the state. The OSAA has given no indication that a change will be made in this designation but remains hopeful that a change could occur prior to Season 4.
For questions regarding Athletics, please contact casteel@wchsonline.org.

Senior Graduation Announcements
Parents of Seniors:
Your student should have come home with a packet to order their cap and gown & graduation announcements. If not, they are available at the front desk. Each student must order a cap and gown, but the rest of the ordering is optional. If you do order announcements, make sure that your order includes name cards or the people who receive the announcement will only know that there is a graduation at Westside Christian High School, but not who is graduating. If you have any questions, please email rose@wchsonline.org.
The representative from Jostens will be at Westside Christian on Friday, December 11 after Chapel to pick up the orders. Please make sure that your Senior turns the form in on that day.
Graduation will be on Saturday, June 12th at 2 p.m. The exact type of celebration will be dictated by the mandates of the State at that time.
Baccalaureate is scheduled for Saturday, June 5th at 4:00 p.m. It is held at Westside Christian High School in the auditorium. This event is usually attended by immediate family and grandparents.
Senior Trip is scheduled for June 7th through 10th at Washington Family Ranch. Stay tuned for information about this event.
Senior sweats are currently being designed and should be available in the near future.
