SALT & LIGHT 2021

KICK-OFF EVENT: OCTOBER 8, 2021
"Best of the Old & the Best of the New"


"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 community organizations 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 charities we will be serving throughout the school year.

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