I am thankful to announce an exciting new addition to Westbury Christian School! Through the acquisition of the Westland YMCA facility, we can now provide WCS students with a dedicated athletic complex, while also serving the Brays Oaks District and the Southwest Houston community.

Previously, Wildcat athletics has been without a home field, and thus without the ever important Home Field Advantage. I am truly grateful to be able to better serve our students and families, alumni, friends, and neighbors, as we embark on a new stage of growth within our school. Our approach to education aims to develop the whole child - Spiritually, Academically, and Socially. I am confident this complex will allow for more opportunities and strengthen not only our athletic programs, but all extra-curricular activities within each of the three dimensions. Your support in moving forward with this exciting endeavor is requested and greatly appreciated!

I am extremely thankful that God has answered our prayers and awarded WCS with such a tremendous blessing!

We will not only be able to enhance opportunities within the athletic department, but also further impact the lives of people within this community we have been unable to reach in the past. Everyone associated with WCS will reap the benefits of this new facility because of the numerous possibilities it will allow, spiritually, academically, and socially.

This is truly a testimony to the power of prayer!

I am very excited about the new athletic complex and cannot wait to utilize the space to further develop WCS athletes.

I thank God that through this fabulous opportunity, we will be able to better serve the needs of our athletes and the school's athletic programs.

The ability to practice, to train, and to compete on our own turf will be great for Wildcat athletics. It will increase our sense of school pride and will help WCS to build stronger recognition in our community.

As the student body continues to grow, participation within our broad range of Student Activities has also seen a natural boost. For each program at WCS, we hope to offer the most effective setting, conducive to allowing our students the opportunity to reach their peak potential. Our current, landlocked location has hindered our ability to expand and adequately serve this need for expansion, until now.

The WCS Athletic Complex will provide the space necessary to accommodate all of our outdoor programs and offer even more options for spiritual enrichment and enhancement to our students

and the Southwest Houston community. The possibilities are endless as we begin to use this new facility for reaching out to our community and for engaging our students in service activities.

Providing intense training, in a disciplined and competitive environment, integrated with Christian values, and with instruction from Christian coaches, will result in the development of champions with humility, drive, and vision.

The need for a Westbury Christian School Athletic Complex is tremendous.

Over 800 people participated in our 1st Charlie Ward Tribute to Excellence which allowed us to raise a majority of the funds we will need to purchase the YMCA on Fondren. Our 2nd Tribute to Excellence will raise money to complete the purchase of the facility and to fund construction of specific areas of this new complex.

Our goal is to close on the YMCA property in the fourth quarter of 2011 and to start phasing in the renovation beginning in 2012. This will include the demolition of a portion of the existing structures, preparation of the land for drainage and for the foundation of future fields, and the construction of new athletic facilities. The exact timeline to complete construction has not been defined, but we anticipate a grand opening ceremony to take place during the 2012-2013 school year.

Our timeline concludes with fully retiring the renovation debt by 2015.

Our students are taught to think outside of themselves and consider the needs of those around them. As we work to set a positive, Christian example, we are committed to utilizing the space in a way that benefits our community, while also serving the needs of our students.

This facility will give us a second presence in the community and increase the recognition of WCS. As the Brays Oaks District continues to bring renewal and new growth to our community, we see this project as a partnership in that revitalization.

There are several possibilities within the WCS Athletic Complex to have a positive impact on Houston area residents.

Some of these plans include:

We need your help to maximize the tremendous potential of the Westbury Christian Athletic Complex! I am thankful that God continues to open doors and allow WCS more opportunities for growth; however, to fulfill the plans we have set in place, there is still a need to raise additional funds. I pray that you will assist in our efforts to move forward with providing a Christ-centered environment for our students and community, through this new facility.

We are truly blessed by your contributions and your support of WCS, and we are excited to partner with you in bringing glory and honor to God.

Thank you!
