Dear High School Families:
It was a great week in the high school. With the weather changing, please take any precautionary measures, as some of our students have missed school with sickness! This coming week, our Radio Symphony performs at the
Vacaville Performing Arts Theater Tuesday evening. Our students always perform at a high-level, so please come out, enjoy and support.
Also on Tuesday, a student group from Alaska will make a Science presentation during our chapel slot (we will have chapel on the 14th).
Our fall sports is coming to a close, as our 7th seeded Lady Falcon Volleyball squad played valiantly on the road, losing 15-13 in the 5th set to the 2nd seed. Cross country is travelling to sub-sectionals tomorrow.
Good luck Falcons!!
Please remember, Friday, November 10th is Veteran's Day, as we remember those who have served for our freedom.

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who supported the Bloodsource Drive on October 31 at VCHS. It was a wonderful success! 35 people registered and 27 units were drawn. Those who weren't able to donate for various reasons are always heroes and of course got a t-shirt and snacks just like those who were able to donate! This blood drive was dedicated to Kyra Williams, a VCMS 6th grader, who is battling a brain tumor. It was great that her dad, Seth, brought her by at the beginning of the drive and later in the afternoon when he donated. Kyra's family wants to express their deepest gratitude for the love, support and prayers the VCHS Family has shown Kyra and her whole family.
Weren't able to donate but still want to? Brenden Theatres is holding a BloodSource Drive on Saturday, November 18th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in Vacaville. You may also find out how to donate at a Bloodsource center by going to www.bloodsource.org. If you'd like to donate in Kyra's honor, mention Kyra Williams (account #0877).
