French missionary Miguel Mendoza visited Valley Lutheran on Friday. Mendoza is the director of the camp where Valley's mission team served last summer. Miguel helped lead chapel with the mission team. They shared their testimony, talked about their ministry, outreach to youth in France, and discussed what it's like being a Christian in France.

Soar on Wings Like Eagles
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Something To Think About
It is a blessing I often take for granted. Parents of our students are engaged in lives of their children. They take the challenge of parenting serious. While we, faculty and parents, may not always see eye to eye, it is rare that we disagree on most life's most important issues.
Personally, I have always sought out information and suggestions that help me be a better school leader, teacher, coach, husband, and father. It is in that spirit that I share the following article from Tim Elmore. Perhaps it will give you something to consider. Or perhaps it will confirm what you are already doing as a parent. It is well written and concise. You can find it at this link.

Host Families Needed
Host families are needed for future international students at VLHS. These students are attracted to our school because of its academic reputation, but they also give us, as Christians, a unique opportunity to share the gospel. Host families do receive a monthly stipend. If you are interested in hosting an international student for the 2017-2018 school year, please contact Debbie Davis at 790-1676 or
