Grand Days
Welcome to our first-ever Virtual Grand Days! We look forward to celebrating our students’ special relationships with their grandparents and grand-friends during our annual, two-day, on-campus celebration. So, because we are unable to gather in-person this year, we've coordinated virtual events and activities over the next three weeks created specifically for Warrior Grandparents!
Our goal is to give you a glimpse of Warrior Life and the amazing opportunities your precious children are offered at Woodlands Christian. We are blessed to serve your family and thank you for partnering with us in raising future leaders.
