Valley Christian School is co-sponsoring a College SEED Night at the Alliance Church Youth Building, Wednesday, October 13th. SEED stand for Students Exploring Educational Development. The purpose of the night is to provide a platform and venue for high school students and parents to explore post-secondary options and issues. The night will be set up as a mini-conference with a couple of seminar sessions scheduled and a ending general session.

Topics include “The Admissions Process”, “Financial Aid”, “The College Search”, “Educational Goals: why parents need to be involved”, “Start Now: how students can make the most of the highschool years, “Careers: Changes in the Workplace,” and “Understanding God’s Will When It Comes to Schooling.”

The keynote speaker is Mitch Fisk, Vice President of Marketing and Enrollment at San Diego Christian College.

Admission is free. (We desire the night to be a ministry to students and families.) Doors open at 6:30pm. There is a registration form/brochure at the Valley Christian School website: http://www.valley-christian.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brochure-for-SEED-Night1.pdf.

Valley Christian School will be having a booth at the Polk County Fair July 29th – August 1st. So, be on the look out for our booth as you attend the fair and stop in.

The article/poem below spells out the essence of Christian Education in its purest form. The article/poem also clearly points out the flaw in government educational centers (public schools) that without God in the picture, all the time and money spent (not invested) is for naught. We only need to look about country to see evidence of the consequences of such a program.

To Be Educated

If I can learn my ABCs, can read 600 words per minute, and can write with perfect penmanship, but have not been shown how to communicate with the Designer of all language,
I have not been educated.

If I can deliver an eloquent speech and persuade you with my stunning logic, but have not been instructed in God’s wisdom,
I have not been educated.

If I have read Shakespeare and John Locke and can discuss their writings with keen insight, but have not read the greatest of all books—the Bible—and have no knowledge of its personal importance,
I have not been educated.

If I have memorized addition facts, multiplication tables, and chemical formulas, but have never been disciplined to hide God’s Word in my heart,
I have not been educated.

If I can explain the law of gravity and Einstein’s theory of relativity, but have never been instructed in the unchangeable laws of the One Who orders our universe,
I have not been educated.

If I can classify animals by their family, genus, and species and can write a lengthy scientific paper that wins an award, but have not been introduced to the Maker’s purpose for all creation,
I have not been educated.

If I can recite the Gettysburg Address and the Preamble to the Constitution, but have not been informed of the hand of God in the history of our country,
I have not been educated.

If I can play the piano, the violin, six other instruments and can write music that moves men to tears, but have not been taught to listen to the Director of the universe and worship Him,
I have not been educated.

If I can run cross-country races, star in basketball, and do 100 push-ups without stopping, but have never been shown how to bend my spirit to do God’s will,
I have not been educated.

If I can identify a Picasso, describe the style of da Vinci, and even paint a portrait that earns an A+, but have not learned that all harmony and beauty comes from a relationship with God,
I have not been educated.

If I graduate from high school with a perfect 4.0 and am accepted at the best university with a full scholarship, but have not been guided into a career of God’s choosing for me,
I have not been educated.

If I become a good citizen, voting at each election and fighting for what is moral and right, but have not been told of the sinfulness of man and his hopelessness without Christ,

I have not been educated.

However, if one day I see the world as God sees it and come to know Him, Whom to know is life eternal, and glorify God by fulfilling His purpose for me,
then I have been educated!

At their regularly scheduled meeting – June 10th, the VCS School Board voted to proceed with the K4 Program for the upcoming 2010-11 school year. In the past couple of weeks, additional parental interest from the community at large for such a program has encouraged the board to move in this direction.

At this point in time, the school’s administration is working to get the word out about the need for a qualified instructor for the K4 Program and the availability for student enrollments.

Thank you to all who donated items and who came to purchase items at the recent Annual VCS Thrift Sale. With your help, we exceeded our goal of $2500. Thank you.
