JAGUAR NEWS

DEAR VCS PARENTS AND FRIENDS,

Greetings VCS family and friends! 

 

We hope that everyone had a beautiful Memorial Day weekend!   We continue to give thanks for those who have given their lives while serving our country and hope that while we enjoyed time with family that there were opportunities to impress on our children the privilege of doing so because of what others have done on our behalf.  We will continue to affirm in our hearts honor and gratitude for those we have lost and give thanks for the freedom that has been the great exchange! 

 

The excitement has continued even after students cleaned out their lockers on the last day of school.  Staff had a productive wrap up meeting this last Wednesday followed by fellowship.  Also, we celebrated our first ever boys volleyball season and our first ever all girls soccer season! God has been so good!  We are so proud of our athletes, supportive parents and staff, and especially coaches.  A great big thank you to our coaches, Mike Michelson, Jeremiah Martin, Frank Nameny, and Lynette Schone, who have demonstrated servants’ hearts and postures that uplifted and inspired! We also give a special thank you to our bus driver, Rich Fisk for the time and hours he gave once again, for his faithfulness, and devotion to both our school and our sports program. We also give a big thank you to our new athletic director, Wendy Johnson! I have watched countless hours devoted in love to our athletic program and our kids. We cannot be thankful enough.

 

Every day is filled with planning and expectations for fall 2025! We will continue to update you! 

 

Have a wonderful beginning to the month of June!  

 

Be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounging in the work of the Lors, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord! I Corinthians 15:58  

 

In Christ,

Kathy Thompson

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Building Update

Great is the Lord!

Jehovah Jireh means the Lord provides. I am thankful for the opportunity to share at the corporate meeting. It was a blessing to have some people come up and ask what they can do or give ideas for fundraising. One person who will be meeting with us has experience writing grants for another nonprofit. This was one of the needs and prayer requests that was shared that night. We will be meeting on the 22nd of May. Which means we will share more information next week. – The Lord provides! 

Also, I appreciate the question that was brought up about how much money we are trying to raise to begin digging ground. When this project began years ago the committee knew that there was an amount that needed to be in the form of down payment, cash flow, and pledged in order to have approved lending. When we received the newest estimate of 8 million dollars our prayer has been that the Lord would provide the funds to build all at once, have no debt, and increase the cash flow that is needed to run the school once we are in the new school. The goal is to raise 8 million dollars praying the Lord provides as we are diligent and prudent with purchasing or building. Jehovah Jireh! 

I thank those of you who have already shared your business logos and will have them updated on the website as soon as possible. 
Please check out the website or email us to let us know your support as we hope to show 100% of VCS families wanting a school building of our own for Valley Christian School.
If you have any questions about or would like to know more about donating or volunteering or letting us know that you will be a daily prayer warrior please visit https://www.valley-christian.org/fundraiser-for-new-building/
