Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News!

HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSINGS

Many Christians around the world recognize All Saints Day this Friday, November 1, remembering Saints who have gone before us. We have our own Saints right here at VCHS – all 139 of them. It’s not a coincidence that our 1 st & 10 All Saints Fund parent campaign launches on All Saints Day. It was designed that way as 1 st & 10 supports “All Saints” at VCHS. Earlier this year, I shared the extraordinary news that 12 families provided the courage, leadership, and generosity to pay back our lenders and eliminate the remaining school debt on our campus property. Let’s join them and show the same type of teamwork with the All Saints Fund, our annual fund.  Over the next 10 days you’ll receive an email each day with a compelling reason to give. Thanks to our VCHS team in designing the work through the bulb digital portfolios platform. I think you’ll really enjoy the photos and hearing from our students and faculty as to why your participation is so vitally important. Before Friday’s launch, parent participation is already at 24% -- thanks in large part to our Parent Class Captains. Thank you so much for those who have already given or made a pledge. For everyone else, please join the faculty and the rest of the parent community by making a gift or pledge over the next 10 days. Your generosity will impact each and every Saint right now and for the remainder of the school year. 1 st & 10…10 Days|10 Reasons.

CONGRATULATIONS! To freshman Holly Knauf for her varsity letter in EVHS Girls Softball and Freshman Sadie Millett for her Varsity letter in Cross Country from BMHS. A shout out to all VCHS underclassmen who participated in off-campus fall sports! BMHS Soccer - Grayson Causey | Alec Bruno | Baeden Marott EVHS Soccer - Tirin Cameron A quote from Quinn Mitchell's Coach: Quinn has been a great captain and leader of this team. Despite coming over from VCHS each day, he has embraced the diversity and culture of the Battle Mt. Huskies enough that his peers selected him as a captain of this team. An outside back last year and a center back this year, Quinn has been a starter on teams that have won 27 games and lost only 2 the past two seasons. He has a knack for reading the play and sensing trouble before it happens. Quinn is also able to jump into the attack when needed. What a player Quinn has been for the Huskies! You will be missed!
