Senior Ads for the Yearbook 
Senior yearbook ads will be available for purchase again this year! Please follow this link if you would like to purchase an ad for your student. Size options include a quarter-page, half-page, or full-page ad. You will design the ad on the website, which will be directly imported into the yearbook – nothing needs to be sent to Wheaton Academy. Yearbook ads can be purchased until May 1, 2025. In past years, a free yearbook was included with the purchase of an ad. Please note that Jostens has changed its policy and no longer includes a free yearbook with an ad purchase, so yearbooks will need to be purchased separately. Please contact Ms. Rusthoven with any questions (krusthoven@wheatonacademy.org).

Thomas West is our speaker for Spiritual Life Week and will challenge us toward spiritual awakening and renewal. Dr. West is the Senior Pastor of Nashville First Baptist Church and an adjunct professor of theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. A former church planter in London, he is passionate about equipping followers of Jesus to live out the gospel in today’s world. A native of Montgomery, Alabama, he completed his undergraduate studies at Auburn University and earned both a Master of Divinity and a Ph.D. from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. His academic research focuses on the writings of Lesslie Newbigin and the theology of mission to Western culture. Along with Trevin K.

Monday, January 6 – Friday, January 17
8:00-11:00 a.m. – Morning Courses
11:45 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. – Afternoon Courses
Winterim classes begin on Monday, January 6. Students can see which courses they are taking and the classroom locations in OnCampus. Here are a few things about Winterim:
-There is no late start on Wednesdays during Winterim. All classes begin at 8:00 am every day.
-The dress code remains in effect.
-Students are welcome to bring a lunch from home, but our usual lunch menu is available for purchase. There will not be soup or salad bar during Winterim. 
-Due to the concentrated framework of Winterim, consistent attendance is very important. Even one class missed is a significant absence and may result in no credit being awarded for the class. Winterim credits are required toward graduation credit.

If you have any questions regarding classes, please contact Jenn Trott.

Senior Ads for the Yearbook 
Senior yearbook ads will be available for purchase again this year! Please follow this link if you would like to purchase an ad for your student.

Senior Picture Submission – Due Today, December 20
It’s time to submit senior pictures for the yearbook! If your student booked an appointment with Prestige Photography to have their picture taken on campus over the summer, and that is the picture your student wants to include in the yearbook, you are good to go! Prestige will automatically send us that photo and no further action is needed.  

If you did not use Prestige Photography for your student’s senior portraits, that is no problem, but we will need you to submit a photo of your own to be included in the yearbook. Photos need to be submitted by today to be included in the yearbook publication. We require a forward-facing portrait taken from the shoulders up, with a plain/non-distracting background. Please note that if you send in a full-body image, it will be cropped from the shoulders up as the yearbook file is not large enough to accommodate a full-body photo. Please submit your student’s chosen picture via email to yearbook@wheatonacademy.org along with your student’s first and last name. Thank you!
