William C. Abney Academy

Our walls are lined with art again this year! Abney students have been busy creating beautiful artwork. We love seeing their creativity shine! 🎨

At WCAA, every day brings something new — hands-on projects, outdoor fun, and exciting field trips. ✨ We’d love to hear: what kind of experiences make your child’s school days most memorable? 💙💛

We’re grateful for our incredible staff who guide, inspire, and support our students every day. Thank you for all you do! ✨

Tomorrow is Count Day! 📝
Every student in class tomorrow helps support our school funding. Thank you, families, for making attendance a priority — your partnership makes a difference for our community. 💙💛

The 2025–26 school year is off to a wonderful start!
From creative art projects to hands-on learning, our students are already showing us how bright and curious they are. 💙💛
