HOMECOMING WEEK/ALUMNI VCA FAMILY GATHERING

Over the weekend, VCA was happy to host a fun Friday Night Lights cookout around the athletic games on Friday, and a pancake breakfast with alumni/faculty/student volleyball and soccer games on Saturday. It was a tremendous weekend shared with members from the current and past VCA Community! Thanks to PTF, Leah and Mark Thompson, and all of the volunteers who helped make Homecoming weekend so special.

SALT AND LIGHT, THIS FRIDAY!

Our Parent Teacher Fellowship Team has been coordinating various projects to provide wonderful opportunities for our students to serve those in our community and beyond. We want our students to learn the value of community service. We have included on-campus and off-campus projects that allow students to see the difference they could make by partnering with local, regional, and international charities. We also see the value of our students serving their community throughout the entire year, not just on one day.

We will kick off our annual Salt and Light Serve-A-Thon on Friday, October 14th. We look forward to seeing the light of Christ shine through these students and volunteers! To learn more, visit our website.
