Our inaugural Wheaton Academy Trivia Night was this past Saturday, March 18. It was an exciting night with over 100 people in attendance, where food, fun, and fellowship were had by all. Wheaton Academy Boosters would like to thank the sports teams for donating to the event. Big thanks to the student-athletes who volunteered and our fabulous MCs! Our appreciation is greatly given to the Event Sponsors and Donors of the event! We are part of an incredible Wheaton Academy community, and it was fun to see that in action on Saturday. We look forward to holding our second annual Wheaton Academy Trivia Night and seeing it grow into an Academy tradition.
