A Word From The Headmaster Dear Friends, Private schools around the country often use terms such as “academic excellence” or “college prep” to describe their work. We use the same language at Westminster, but how does one really measure excellence or whether graduates are truly prepared for college? Beyond test scores, college acceptances and the like, the true answer may lie in learning from the graduate’s experience during college or soon afterward.

At the same time I was preparing my thoughts for this letter, I bumped into a recent Westminster alumnus from the Class of 2006. He just completed his degree in Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech, an undergraduate engineering program currently ranked second in the nation. This fall, he will be a first-year medical student at Georgia Health Sciences University. His answers to my questions about his time at Georgia Tech provide the truest measurement of our work at Westminster.

in integrating a biblical worldview with each subject, but that’s not what I heard. He spoke about the Westminster faculty as godly role models in his life, and he often thought of them as examples in navigating the, oftentimes, difficult waters of college life.

I’m not only proud of this alumnus and our When asked about academic preparation while faculty who live out our core values each day, a student at Westminster, he spoke specifically but I’m proud of Westminster’s tradition in providing an academically excellent, collegeabout his English and Science courses.

My great joy comes when Westminster classmates with writing assignments. He alumni provide living evidence of “mission went on to talk about his preparation in the sciences, particularly Chemistry. He said, “My accomplished” both in college and beyond. chemistry coursework at Tech didn’t become Warm regards, challenging until Organic Chemistry.”

Beyond academics, we spoke about his social and spiritual preparation for a large public university. I expected to hear something about a Bible course such as Apologetics or Modern Thought or about our intentionality

Can You Guess Which Person From The List Above Said: I do the” Tooty-Ta.” I once got locked in my classroom with 23 students and we all had to climb out the window.

When I was a preschooler, I lived for three years in a French village with my parents. My mother would walk me to the nearby village school every morning and leave me with an entire school speaking only French. I became very adept at watching others and discerning what was going on by their visual clues. In the classroom today, I enjoy using these same skills of observation and discernment to discover each child’s strengths and interests.

Once I was discussing a child’s misbehavior with him and he said, “Come on [name of teacher], let’s dance.”

My first class of sixth graders will graduate next year!

I started writing my first book during the spring break of my first year of teaching at Westminster.

I once had a co-worker call the police, believing that our house was being invaded.

I was Allis Chalmers Hydro-Turbine Division’s first female first-class welder.

I took a job as a computer programmer for a year after 10 years of teaching. As a first year “junior programmer” I made more money than I did as a teacher with 10 years of experience!

I was covered in soot when someone asked me to come in and interview for the teaching job at Westminster.

I have been mistaken for a student at least one time each year for the past six years!

I have a tradition of taking my students to Takosushi at the end of each school year. One class created a Takosushi page on Facebook to commemorate the annual occasion.

I was an Employee Relations Specialist for the government before I started working at Westminster.

I established Westminster’s theater program 20 years ago. Our very first musical was “Annie,” and we currently have students enrolled in the Lower School who are children of alumni who performed in that production.

My second year teaching here I portrayed the character Miss Cappuccino in the Christmas program. The name stuck for several years.

The soundtrack of Field Day was punctuated by cheers for the various team colors from the young voices of participants. Though the White Team held the title of champion from last year, score updates throughout the day demonstrated a close battle for this year’s bragging rights. At times the Blue Team was in the lead, at times the White Team. With each score announcement, hands were raised in celebration and students jumped with glee.

Westminster’s annual Field Day is usually kicked off with a surprise presentation from the fifth graders. This year was no exception as spectators watched a line dance performed by the Class of 2018.

Throughout the day, bystanders could see children laugh, dance and enjoy snack breaks between events.

The battles were fierce as the Blue and White teams competed in events including the balloon toss, the relay race, the sack race, a basketball challenge and many more. This year an obstacle course event was added.

“I like obstacle courses,” said fifth grader Daniel Newton. “It is fun to do different things, but I liked the hurdles best.” The course involved passing through a tunnel,

weaving in and out of cones and jumping over hurdles in a race to the finish line.

Other students enjoyed trying new things.

Second grader Elizabeth Rucker noted, “The tennis challenge was my favorite part because I had never done it before and I learned a lot from it.”

The final scores for Field Day were met with resounding cheers from all the members of the White Team as they achieved another victory in 2011.

“Leisa Tebbs works for weeks to prepare for Field Day. She and her team of volunteers did a great job organizing, planning, scheduling and setting up,” said Mrs. Sue Ames. “I have heard lots of positive feedback from parents about the event.”

All the hard work was worth it. Though everyone wants to win, time is spent with students discussing concepts of being a good spectator, friendly competition and encouraging teammates.

“It was a great success because our students demonstrated good sportsmanship and conduct throughout the day,” Mrs. Tebbs said.

The All School Picnic began promptly after the Field Day competitions. The outgoing and incoming Student Leadership Teams organized the event. Each grade of Middle and Upper School students was paired with a particular grade at the Lower School. The eighth grade students carried boxed Chickfil-A lunches to the second grade students and so on. The younger and older students enjoyed meals on the field. After lunch, students, faculty, staff and volunteers joined together to dance to the Cha Cha Slide.  Editor’s note: A video of students dancing to the Cha Cha Slide can be seen on Westminster’s YouTube page.

Spring Soccer Westminster has a long history of excellence on the soccer field, as evidenced by the 26 region titles and five state championship titles that the school holds for soccer. In keeping with other GISA schools, the boys varsity season has historically been in the fall and the girls varsity season in the spring – until this year. Both soccer seasons ran simultaneously for the first time in 2011 to allow for the addition of GISA football to Westminster’s schedule.

The change in seasons has called for creative maneuvering for practice time, playing time and general field time for the various teams.

Westminster fields four soccer teams from the months of February to May.

“Of course we would have loved to compete for the State Championship this year, but I could not have asked for a better response from the community,” noted Coach Freace. “Both teams played well and I look forward to seeing what the 2012 soccer season holds.” 

History of Soccer at Westminster Since its beginning, the Wildcats have captured 26 region titles and five state championships.

Region Championships:

Boys- 1990, 1992, 1993, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009*, Varsity Soccer Coach Mike Freace traditionally coaches both teams. This year was 2011 no exception. Though it meant countless hours Girls- 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, of practice and games, he did not want to give 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 up coaching either team. “Having coached both programs for so long, I am deeply rooted and feel ties to both boys and girls soccer at WSA,” State Championships: he said. “Even though it was a challenge at Boys- 2000, 2001, 2004, 2006 times, it is really fulfilling to see personal and team growth. The relationships built are ones Girls- 2009 that last a lifetime.” *Editor’s Note: Due to the soccer season changing Both the Boys and Girls Varsity teams won from fall to spring, the boys team played in fall the GISA Region 4AAA championship 2009 and did not play again until spring 2011. title.

Westminster hosted the GISA State Quarterfinal games on May 12. The girls team beat the Young American Christian School 3-0, and the boys team defeated Community Christian School 2-1 in overtime. Both teams advanced to the Semifinal games with Westminster hosting the matches on May 19.

With many college students home for the summer, the young alumni presence at the games was strong. Additionally, parents, teachers and friends of Westminster came to cheer the Wildcats on to victory. The stands were packed and the Wildcats fought hard, but both teams were defeated by Mount de Sales in the Semifinals.

While many people were at the beach or attending the Masters Tournament in Augusta, four students and three administrators from Westminster went to serve in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania at the beginning of April. The sights, smells, music and rhythm of Africa proved to be a drastic change of pace and the four students were surprised by the love they felt for this new place.

The team partnered with students from Haven of Peace Academy (HOPAC), where Headmaster Steve O’Neil spent three years before coming to Westminster, for HOPAC’s Service Emphasis Week. Through this partnership, they were able to attend a village church, tour a healthcare facility, teach at the Benacho Sala-Sala Primary School, care for children at the Huruma Children’s Home, stay in the home of a HOPAC student, see microenterprises at work and go on a brief safari.

Before they left Augusta, the students collected books to give to Benacho Sala-Sala Tanzania is a country built on the value of Primary School. When the team visited the relationships and our team encountered school, they saw five classrooms with more various people while oversees. They spent than 100 students in each class.

Though the time in Africa was full, members of the 2011 Tanzania team would all agree that the blessings of this trip were not found in the haste, the quantity of things accomplished or the varied nature of the events. Rather, they found blessings in the events that happened along the way. Details of the experience can be found on the team blog, wsatanzania2011.blogspot.com. Each student was impacted in her own way. Read their stories in the pages that follow.

Lila Capps My time in Tanzania was truly a blessing from the Lord and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go. Honestly, the transition of coming back from such an awesome experience was more difficult than the transition from the USA to Tanzania. Looking back on the trip, there was not one big “aha!” moment. Rather, there were a bunch of little lessons God had to share with me.

Serving other people doesn’t mean that you have to go halfway around the world to Africa, nor does it mean that you have to stay here in Augusta. Just seeing all the different ministries in Dar and the diverse backgrounds of the people serving there was enough to show me that everyone is called to different places by God. As I was Lila Capps holds a child in Madala Village. reading with children at the primary school, playing on the seesaw with the kids at the orphanage and spending time with the people from HOPAC, I was being ministered to even more than I could ever minister to the people I met there. I found this to be amazing! Their acceptance of me, despite the fact that I was a tall, red-headed girl who could speak maybe two words of Swahili, was so sweet. It has helped to give me a new perspective on loving people in general.

Tanzania was amazing and there are truly no words to describe the beautiful people, the trash all over the streets, the breathtaking scenery on safari, the crippled man crawling along the street begging for money, the vastness of the city of Dar, or the wonderful people that I got to go on the trip with. Thank you to everyone who prayed for us. I could truly feel God’s hand of protection around me on this trip.

Kaitlyn Hadden I went to Africa because I knew God was calling me there. I thought that meant I was going to have some major revelation while I was there. So when that didn’t happen, I got home thinking that I had missed something. “Perspective” is one thing that we talked a lot about on the trip. We were in a new country and visited many different ministries. When a person is in the middle of God at work, it is hard to see Him in His full glory, but when I got home, I was able to just sit and reflect. At that point, all of the things that God wanted to show me -- and I thought I had missed -- started to surface on my heart.

While I started to process all of the people we met and places we went to, things that didn’t seem so big to me then started to hold more value to me. A man named William rides his bike 30 to 45 minutes each day to work as the janitor at Haven of Peace Academy. His immense faith and hope in the Lord is absolutely remarkable. On our first Sunday in Tanzania, we attended the church he built in his village. I was expecting to see the whole village in this little building, but when we got there we were greeted with a song by two women and one man -- and William.

William preached with so much passion! It was such a different experience for me to go from a worship service at First Baptist Church, to this one with three other people and our team. Even with so few people there, William preached with as much love for the Lord as if he were speaking at a Passion Conference. How many Bible studies have we tried and stopped Kaitlyn Hadden gives out gospel because only a few people showed up? bracelets to children in People ask why God never performs miracles anymore, but it is not that He doesn’t, we are just not paying attention. During our time in Africa, we experienced a miracle. William and his wife, Stella, have been trying to have a child for a long time. Though they have been pregnant four times, each child was lost within an hour after birth, or prior to birth. While we were there, Stella gave birth to a healthy baby girl who is still alive today.

Madala Village.

We serve a big God. I finally understand what that means now.

Sabrina Rush My journey began several months ago in Mr. O’Neil’s classroom.

The class was called a History of Current Events, so we discussed social, economic and political issues in Africa, Asia and Latin America. I was particularly interested in Africa because of the many overwhelming problems involving orphans, disease and water shortages. Mr. O’Neil mentioned a trip to Tanzania, but I never imagined I would be a part of this trip. I prayerfully considered this opportunity and decided to apply. Within a few days, the team was announced and I was on it! For spiritual preparation, we read the book of Acts and “Outlive Your Life” by Max Lucado. We also did cultural preparation, learning some key words and phrases.

Sabrina Rush with the director of the Kunduchi Branch of the Red Cross.

Once in Tanzania, we visited a different ministry each day.

The ministry that struck me the most was Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT), which is interesting because I am the least medically-inclined person in the group. Taking a tour of the facility, I was overwhelmed because there were sick people everywhere, waiting to be healed.

I could barely look. We talked with CCBRT’s Public Relations coordinator after the tour. This was ideal for me because I love brainstorming about media, social networking, fundraising and the like. Through talking with the employees at CCBRT, I realized that there is a huge need for medical and financial support.

CCBRT is a large facility, the best of its kind in Tanzania, and needs money to stay running. CCBRT also needs more doctors for its new maternity ward as well as for orthopedics and eyes. Overall, I was struck by this organization because it shows the intense medical need in Tanzania and in Africa.

One of the main things I learned is that I am so blessed to go to Westminster. No other school could provide this amazing opportunity, and I am extremely grateful. I challenge anyone who has a longing to go to Africa to pray about it and not to lose hope.

And I challenge anyone being called to Africa, to take that opportunity!

Haleigh Swierski My time in Africa was life changing for many reasons. I was able to see new places, meet new people, and smell new smells.

I saw a city filled to the brim with poverty and sickness yet, its people were the kindest and most generous that I have ever encountered. I was challenged personally when we were able to meet a man who was living in a true mud hut and growing sugar cane behind his meager home to make money.

I was stunned at his gracious and sweet spirit. It shocked me even more when he gave our group a large stalk of sugar cane -something he easily could have sold for a nice profit. God really opened my eyes by this man’s willingness to give, in spite of his difficult circumstances. God also showed me that you don’t have to be extremely wealthy to help someone or even extremely wealthy to give. My experience in Africa showed me that I have been greatly blessed by God, and I can use these blessings to help others, whether it means giving money, giving my time, adopting or going back to Africa again. Anyone who has a willing and loving heart, God will use to further His kingdom! 

2011 Commencement Westminster Schools of Augusta graduated 34 students at the 28th annual Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 14 at First Presbyterian Church. Of those 34 graduates, 13 of them had been students at Westminster since pre-kindergarten or kindergarten.

The relationships in this class and with the faculty run very deep. Those relationships were evident as Valedictorian Jamison Holgate and Salutatorian Emily Harless addressed their classmates and reminisced at the podium.

A new tradition began this year in having the Board of Trustees march with the faculty. The board members are an integral part of each graduate’s education. They hold Westminster’s mission in trust and challenge the school

to advance its vision for future generations.

The Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Cullen Rodgers-Gates (’96) at the ceremony. (See page 17 for more information about Mr. Rodgers-Gates and the award.)

Mr. Eric Metaxas gave the Commencement address. He is a New York Times bestselling author of biographies, but his eclectic resume includes work with everything from VeggieTales to Chuck Colson. Just two days before speaking at Commencement, Mr. Metaxas received the Canterbury Medal, a prestigious award given annually to those who fight for religious liberty and discourse in the public arena.

It was a day to celebrate and to remember God’s work in the lives of each member of the Class of 2011 while they were students at Westminster. Those students now join the ranks of 733 Westminster alumni who are doing remarkable things not only here in Augusta, but around the globe.

“As one who walked the stage at a Westminster Commencement Ceremony in 2007, I remember well the feelings of graduation day. For 18 years, both my excitement and anticipation of graduating from high school had been swelling. It all finally burst forth on graduation day with every sensation of happiness, satisfaction and freedom. It was one of those experiences that you simply cannot comprehend until you go through it yourself.

The unique blend of gratification of having completed a challenging education; the nostalgia of fond memories with classmates; the fear of tripping in front of umpteen guests, as well as a delightful premonition of the future, was evident on many of the faces of this year’s graduating class. While progressing through elementary, middle and high school, the academic years seem to drag at the slowest of paces. Then the final semester of senior year instantaneously passes and culminates in graduation -- a moment in which there is hardly enough time to soak in the whole celebration.

It is not the mere acceptance of a diploma that illuminates the significance of this day. This day is highlighted by the presence of countless

friends and family. For each graduate, this day is also made unforgettable through the shared participation of Westminster traditions.

Eagerly walking down the center aisle of the sanctuary, waiting anxiously to hear one’s name called out, and joyfully tossing one’s cap high into the sky in triumph are just a few of those.

Although these graduates are now preparing for their next adventure, I am sure they will never forget the thrill of running through the sprinklers on the last day of school, the fun of spending the night on the soccer field, the sentiment of Senior Honors Night, and most valuably, the teaching of Scripture, all of which have helped shape and equip these students for the road ahead.

Providentially, the passing of time will allow these students to press on toward greater accomplishments and higher development of character. As I look at completing the next step in my own education, I am grateful for the way Westminster prepared me for college. Likely, when these recent graduates finally begin their new lives on their respective college campuses, they’ll be as enthusiastic as I was and go on to achieve marked success.” 

Mr. Mendo was with us as a member of the newly created Teacher-in-Residence Program at Westminster. The program is part of an effort to help students to understand that the world is much bigger than the greater Augusta area. Through the trip to Tanzania, the school was able to take students out of Westminster to experience another culture. Since it is not possible to take every student on such a trip, the Teacher-in-Residence Program allows for us to bring other cultures to Westminster’s campus.

Mr. Mendo was given a resounding welcome on our campus and filled various roles. He served as a teacher in French and Geography classrooms and gave chapel presentations to Lower School and Middle School students.

His visit stretched our students and our community toward a greater global focus and an appreciation for other cultures and parts of the world. The Augusta Chronicle and WJBF featured stories on the Teacher-in-Residence Program.

“As an Athletic Director and Head Varsity Football Coach, Andrew stood out above other candidates because of the quality of his character and leadership and his passion to develop young athletes into Christ-centered leaders,” Headmaster Steve O’Neil said.

New Athletic Director Beginning in July, Augusta native Andrew Bryan will assume the role of Athletic Director. Coach Bryan is a graduate of Curtis Baptist High School, where he was an AllState player in football and basketball and was recruited to play both sports at the collegiate level. He graduated from Union University with a B.A. in Christian Ethics, Augusta State University with a M.Ed. in Kinesiology & Health Science and is completing his Ed.D. at Walden University.

Coach Bryan served as Athletic Director at Greenbrier Middle School for the last five years but he is not new to Westminster. From 2004 to 2006, he was a Westminster teacher and coach. While serving as Assistant Football Coach at Greenbrier, he filled various roles, including Offensive Coordinator.

Variety Shows The 2011 Spring Musical was a double feature. The evening began with a Broadway Review where the audience saw Broadway favorites come to life on the stage. A cast of more than 70 students in grades three through 12 performed songs and choreography from

Full of music, dancing and old-time sound effects, “The 1940’s Radio Hour” portrayed a broadcast of the Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade on the New York radio station WOV in November 1942. Great hits from this era were performed, such as “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Strike Up The Band,” “The Nearness of You,” “Blue Moon” and “Our Love is Here to Stay.”

Some cast members performed a portion of “The 1940’s Radio Hour” for a group of senior citizens at Brookfield Assisted Living Center in March. The residents loved hearing familiar songs from days gone by, and they invited the group to return in April for an encore performance.

Middle School Soccer The Middle School Boys Soccer Team, coached by Jeff McLarnon, finished the season with a record of 3-6-1. The team worked hard each day improving aspects of their individual play and team efforts. The Middle School Girls Soccer Team, coached by Russ Gladden, finished their season with a record of 4-3-1 and was the No. 3 seed for the end-of-season tournament. After winning their first round match versus EDS on penalty kicks, the team fell in the championship match 3-1 versus Augusta Prep.

The following students received State Recognition for their performance on the test taken: Sophie Pollock, Caroline McCully, Thomas Williamson and Ethan Lynch.

National Leadership Westminster junior Jeremiah Coleman was invited to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. Jeremiah selected the Forum on National Security from the program options and had a great week in our nation’s capitol.

Hunger & Heart Awareness

“Going in to the conference, I had no idea what to expect or how much I would learn.

From the roles of intelligence to that of the media, I learned how the different departments interact,” said Jeremiah. “By the end of the week, I had learned a tremendous amount about National Security and how our government works.”

Upper School students participated in World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine, spending the night of March 4 on campus. Leaders used devotionals and games to focus the students’ time on prayer and consideration of the millions of people around the world suffering from the effects of hunger. Prefect Natalie Walters said, “We raised around $600 and with that money we brought in children’s books to donate to Africa.”

Right on Track

After a night of focus on the plight of world hunger, nearly 20 Upper School students participated in the CSRA Heart Walk, benefitting the American Heart Association.

Matthew Schafer, the youngest sibling of the Schafer students in the Upper School, was the Heart Hero for the Walk.

The 2011 varsity track season came to a close with Javona Douglas placing sixth in the long jump at the GISA State Track Meet in Albany, Georgia. Senior Nick Newsome ran both 200- and 400-meter distances in several meets and finished well in each race. “With all the new talent joining the team this year, there has been a lot of growth, and next year looks even more promising,” Coach Steve Bouye said.

Middle School runners Evan Downs, Carter Wilson and Tanner Wilson placed first, second and third respectively, in the 800-meter race at the CSRA City Championships. Evan Downs also placed first in the mile with a time of 5:38.

A Great TIP In conjunction with the Duke University Talent Identification Program, 17 of Westminster’s seventh graders took the SAT or ACT. Founded in 1980, the Duke Talent Search program is the largest program of its kind in the nation, representing participation from more than 6,000 junior high and middle schools in the Duke TIP 16-state region. The Talent Search identifies academically talented seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending elementary or middle school.

Class Favorite Congratulations to eighth grader David Peltier, whose essay about Mr. Dwight Redick, was selected as one of the top five submitted to our local Barnes & Noble as part of their “My Favorite Teacher” essay contest. In April, a reception was held honoring those five students and teachers. Search “favorite teacher” on wsa.net to read David’s essay.

Prom in the Big Easy

This year’s spring chorus concert featured the Upper School chorale, the mens’ ensemble and the middle school chorus. These groups joined forces to present a program of Hymns and Spirituals, along with some classic and new-pop tunes.

The Junior/Senior prom, “A Night in the Quarter,” was held at the Marbury Center on the evening of April 15. After a buffet dinner in a beautiful New Orleans setting, the students danced the night away.

Featured student soloists in the production were Kelly McGahee, Jarred Hanner and Nathan Vital.

French Immersion Camp

Studio Showcase Because our Fine Arts curriculum now includes an AP Studio Art class, Westminster hosted an AP Art Exhibit to showcase the students’ work. Art by Ann Elizabeth Gore, Grace A. Halverson, Emily Harless and Jay Hartmann (students pictured below with Mrs. Hornsby in the center) was on display in the Upper School Academic Resource Center (ARC) for the show. Select works were available for purchase.

A highlight of the evening was a traditional photo booth for fun candid shots. The 2011 Prom King and Queen were seniors Thomas Mehrhof and Jamison Holgate. Juniors Drew McCartney and Haley Barinowski were the Prom Prince and Princess.

For a full weekend in February, six Westminster students attended Le Weekend Francais, a French immersion experience at Camp Rock Eagle in Eatonton, Georgia.

Activities were designed to allow students to practice their speaking skills and included cooking, sports activities, singing, art and games. The goal was to speak no English the entire weekend.

Teacher Jordan Lambert shared, “I believe it gave [the students] a confidence boost and a desire to work even harder on their French skills. I look forward to bringing more students to the immersion camp next year.”

2011-12 Student Leadership Team A FLAIR for Spanish Several Westminster Spanish students were invited to join the Foreign Language Honor Society known as FLAIR, Foreign Language Alliance for International Rapport.

Qualifying students must have two, three, four or five years of ‘A’ work in their Spanish classes. During the FLAIR reception and awards ceremony at Augusta State University in March, foreign language students from schools around the CSRA were recognized and Lindsay Williamson received the honor of Foreign Language Student of the Year for Westminster. For a complete list of FLAIR students and students who were honored with other language accolades, visit wsa.net.

The Student Leadership Team (SLT) is the group of students interviewed and selected to lead our school. They are challenged with leading student life, spiritual life, academics, athletics and culture at Westminster. Each member of the team leads a specific focus area of the school as a prefect, but they act as a team more often than as individuals.

Evan’s father, Randy Crane, was recognized for his commitment to the baseball program and his contributions to the improvement of the baseball field with the first “Building to Success” award. A plaque in his honor was placed at the baseball press box.

Biology in the Field

Author Visit

The AP Biology class visited Heggies Rock, J. Strom Thurmond Hydroelectric Dam and Stevens Creek Preserve on a recent field trip.

The tour of Heggies Rock, guided by Mr. John Jarvis, provided a botanical and geologic lesson on a unique ecosystem - a granite outcropping.

The protected area is home to several endangered species of plants.

Guest author, Pam Alexander visited our Lower School on April 12. She spoke to the students and autographed her books.

Mrs. Alexander also gave a presentation of photographs she used to paint her life-like illustrations.

The class’ study of sources of energy fit right in with this firsthand look at the hydroelectric facility at J. Strom Thurmond Dam.

She is the author and illustrator of children’s books about Georgia including “Sails, Pails and Alligator Tales” and “Jeremiah Makes History Hop”. Five of her six books are listed on the Accelerated Reader listing we use.

Finally, the class toured Stevens Creek Preserve, collecting data on the small stream originating in the preserve and examining the plant populations there.

Making a Splash The first Splash Day at the Lower School was a huge hit! Students played in an inflatable water slide, a slip-n-slide, a corkscrew slide and a gem mining expedition to end the school year. A highlight of the day was when Mr. O’Neil got in the dunk tank and Mrs. Ames and Miss Buurma both knocked him in! The Augusta Chronicle came out to take pictures of the event and posted a video of the dunk tank online. NBC Augusta also showed a video of NBC Chief Meteorologist Jeff Rucker in the dunk tank.

Lower School Field Trips and Special Events

Millhaven Plantation Trip

Albums from Lower School Field Trips and special events are on the Westminster Flickr page and on wsa.net. Use the search feature to see photos and/or news briefs from the events at various grade levels.

Our third grade students traveled to Millhaven Plantation in May. They studied many aspects in nature, including animal pelts and the habitat of the plantation. They also got to see Mrs. Julie Wiggins hold a live baby alligator!

Presidential Speeches In March, the second grade students made presidential speeches. In honor of Presidents’ Day these students read portions of past presidential speeches for their classmates while dressed in presidential best and standing at a podium. The students had two weeks to practice their speeches, and some of them even memorized them. A few photos of students at the “presidential” podium can be found on our Westminster Schools of Augusta Flickr page.

Every Gift Counts

Many of you have heard me say that your gift to the Westminster Fund counts, regardless of the amount. You also have heard me say that your participation is important. Tuition does not cover the total cost of a student’s education, so we must raise funds to cover the 11 percent difference. In this way, every student’s tuition is supplemented by the Westminster Fund.

Earlier this year, an anonymous donor offered to help our families see the importance of participating in the Westminster Fund. The Double Your Dollars Campaign challenged our parents to increase their participation to 60 percent in a five-week time period. If the goal was met in the allotted time, the donor would match up to $10,000 of those gifts.

We knew we needed 114 parents/families to donate to make this happen.

As of 11:44 p.m. on the day of the deadline, we only had 113. Thanks to the generosity of our parents and the hard work of the Development Committee and The Parents Club Council, we met the goal in the last minutes of the campaign. The donation that allowed us to receive this matching gift arrived through our online donation system just 15 minutes before the deadline. It was a $25 gift. This $25 gift gave us access to a $10,000 gift, further proving that every gift counts! The Double Your Dollars Campaign also helped us to exceed our $300,000 Westminster Fund goal by raising $29,845, which includes the $10,000 matching gift.

Donation amounts between $10 and $100 totaled $3,970 and we had 67 donations from parents who did not participate last year. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support of the school!

The Lord continues to bless us through your generosity and to show his faithfulness in providing for our every need. Below are a few statistics as of May 18 that demonstrate the growing support of the Westminster Fund. Our financial year begins July 1 and ends June 30. So go ahead and get a jump on the campaign for 2011-12. The enclosed envelope makes it easy, or you can make a donation online at wsa.net/giving/donateonline. Whether you are a parent, alum, grandparent or friend, every gift truly counts!
