– WCS Kicks Off $2,000,000 “Shoot for the Stars” Capital Campaign

Wichita Christian School kicked off a two million dollar capital campaign entitled “Shoot for the Stars” on Thursday, March 11, in the Neta Lane gymnasium.  The goals of the campaign are threefold:

1. To build a state-of-the-art gymnasium
2. To purchase new buses
3. To continually upgrade technology and curriculum

Over 250 people attended the event including many students, parents and friends of Wichita Christian.  The campaign co-chairs, Erwin and Elaine Davenport, were introduced along with other campaign leadership team members.

Laura Burnam wrote the music and lyrics for the first ever Wichita Christian alma mater, and she presented it in  along with several friends to the delight of the student body and families alike.

The highlight of the evening was the revelation that over $908, 480.00 has already been pledged/given to the campaign even before the actual kick off!  The board of directors hopes to break ground for the new gymnasium in the fall of 2010.
