Tonga Mission Trip

We want to apologize again that the parent meeting with Pastor Guerrero was cancelled due to his flight schedule conflict. He did share important information with the students. He emphasized on the importance of being vaccinated and having or applying for a passport as soon as possible to enter the Kingdom of Tonga. We are grateful for your students deciding to minister in Tonga. Planning for the trips involves booking a flight in advance to get the best flight possible.

Here are the payment due dates and amount for the mission trip:

Student Leadership Conference

September 23-25

Every year, student leaders from various schools in the Pacific Union meet, and this year the conference is hosted at Camp Cedar Falls in SoCal. It is a weekend of learning, bonding with other students, and sharing spiritual encouragement. The main goal is to teach these students to become good leaders at their school, community, and church.

Community Service Hours on Campus

Need more community service hours?

Ask teachers how you can help after school to earn community service hours.

According to the Student Handbook, twenty-five (25) clock hours of unremunerated community service per year of attendance at a Pacific Union Conference secondary school are required.

Volunteers Needed!

Home, School and Church (MVA’s PTA) is looking for volunteers, especially those with larger seating capacity mini-vans and SUVs, to help with future events including driving students to off-campus school events.

COVID-19 Update

Everyone must continue to wear a mask indoor/outdoor regardless of vaccination status.

The students will have to check in daily as soon as they arrive at the school.

A check-in station is set up by the main office.

Each student is given an ID to wear at all times.

These on-campus IDs must be turned in to the teacher at the end of the student’s last period. The IDs are sanitized before they are given back to the students the next day.

The classrooms are set up with desks three feet apart from each other and facing the same way towards the front of the room.
