SALT & LIGHT KICK-OFF EVENT

"What is Salt & Light?"
Salt & Light is an annual school-wide event with the purpose of raising beneficial funds for our school in a meaningful way. VCA partners with non-profits in the community to serve throughout the school year. The purpose is to generate and cultivate a spirit of service within our students and to be the hands and feet of Christ.

On Friday, October 8th we will have a kick-off event announcing this year's service theme and charities we will be serving throughout the school year.

Please join us in prayer as we prepare our hearts to serve our community!

Congratulations to Bailee Bishop on being named the MVP of the 2021 Top Gun USA Sports Event in the 16-u Gold Bracket Championship!

The VCA Volleyball Teams had a great week of competition. On Monday, our Middle School Team defeated Veritas Prep from South Carolina 2 sets to 0. The JV and Varsity Teams had matches against Reynolds Mountain Christian Academy and Lake Lure Classical Academy on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. JV won both of their matches 2-0, while Varsity beat RMCA 3-0 and LLCA 3-1. Great job, ladies!

The Varsity Cross Country Team competed in a meet in Johnson City on Thursday. The Girls' Team took home the runner-up trophy. Finishing in the Top 10 were Hannah Stage (3), Kenley Nix (6), and Anna Camille Fleeman (10). Our Varsity Boys and Middle School Teams also competed in Johnson City. Our runners are working hard and continuing to improve their times. Earlier in the week, the middle school teams competed in the Veritas Invitational at Fletcher Park. Gunnar Patterson turned in a Top 10 result, finishing 7th with a time of 15:19.

The Middle School Boys Soccer Team had a couple of matches last week. On Thursday, our boys battled to a 1-1 tie against IC Imagine. On Friday, we were defeated by Asheville Catholic 4-1.
