✨Serving Our Savior 2026✨

At Wayside Christian School, we believe education is about more than academics—it’s about shaping hearts to serve Christ in every area of life. ❤️

Our annual Serving Our Savior Fundraiser is one of the most exciting opportunities for our students to put that into action while helping meet real needs across our campus!

This year, funds raised will go toward important updates in our older buildings, including:
✔️ New flooring
✔️ Bathroom improvements
✔️ Fresh paint
✔️ New Gym wall & beam padding

Last year, our students and families raised a little over $20,000 —an incredible testimony of generosity and unity! This year, we’re aiming even higher!

We’re once again using 99Pledges, a simple and secure online platform that makes it easy to give and share.

💡How you can help:
• Support a student with a donation
• Pray for our students as they serve

Below is the link to the main fundraising page. You can search for individual students to support by first name and last initial or you can just donate to the general page.

Every gift—big or small—makes a difference and helps us continue the mission of equipping students to live for Christ.

Tax Day is quickly approaching! If you haven’t filed your taxes yet and have not made a contribution to the WCS SGO, there is still time.

As long as your donation is made before you file—or by April 15—you can receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $750 for individuals or $1,500 for married couples filing jointly.

This is a simple and impactful way to support Christian education at no additional cost to you.
