HS Nicaragua Parent Meeting Recap

Thanks to all the families that were able to make it to the Parent Meeting on Tuesday night! We are so excited to walk through this process together, and know that God is going to show up in amazing ways throughout our preparations and the trip. We will continue to post valuable resources to the blog after every meeting to help you stay informed and connected. Please make sure you are also signed up for the appropriate text list so that we can send you meeting/deadline reminders and other announcements. You must resubscribe to the text list every year, so please make sure you are on the list!
Parents, text the word NICAPARENT to the number 41411.
Students, text the word NICASTUDENT to the number 41411.

First, here is the Parent Meeting Powerpoint that we walked through at Tuesday's meeting. The powerpoint contains information on deadlines, contact information, and other practical resources.

Next, I've attached the checklist from the meeting: Checklist #1. We will give each student a checklist at every meeting with important information about upcoming assignments and deadlines. Please make sure you read over the checklist and return the listed documents. The following documents were included in your packets and/or listed on the checklist and are due at the next team meeting on May 13th:

  • ORPHANetwork Trip Application
  • A copy of each student's passport 
  • A WCC Parental Consent Form (Many of you already have this one on file from either HS CBA Day or the HS Ski Trip. Email Alexis at akincaid@wcchapel.org if you are unsure whether or not you have one on file for this year.)
  • A Photo Release Form

Finally, I have also uploaded the Support Letter Instructions. This document has important information on how to write and send support letters. Please read over the document carefully. We strongly encourage students to send their support letters no later than Sunday, May 4th!

Our next team meeting is Tuesday, May 13th from 6:30-8:30pm in Classroom 156 (on the East Hallway near the Student Ministries Lounge).

If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Hawley (at 215-498-1928 or hsmith@wcchapel.org) or Alexis (at 941-1241 or akincaid@wcchapel.org). Thanks, everyone!
