The Angel Program is a volunteer committee founded and run by a Valley Christian parent with the sole purpose to bless the faculty and staff of Valley Christian.
Families can sign up for the program and then will be assigned a faculty or staff member at one of our three campuses for the entire 2019-2020 school year.
There are many ways you can encourage your teacher, for example: hand written notes, bring in their favorite treat or dessert, buy them lunch, etc. It’s an incredible way to recognize the teachers and staff for the time and energy they pour into your children every single day.
If you're interested in signing up for the Angel Program, you can click the link below.

Volunteers Needed for Home Football Parking
|
We need a few volunteers to step up and help with directing parking during the Home Football games. We had about 2,000 people attend our first home game, which is awesome! However, with the increased amount of guests on campus, we do want to make sure that parking is organized for everyone’s safety.
If anyone would like to help with this please e-mail Kevin Allen at kallen@valleychristianaz.org.
