The 8th grade Washington D.C. trip offers a vast range of academic, spiritual, cultural, and social growth for our travelers. Seven days of history being brought to life before our eyes. Seven days of curriculum no longer in a text book but in our hands. Seven days of metropolitan culinary experiences to savor. Our group marched into Washington D.C. on April 1st. In our first four days we encountered prominent war memorials, renowned busts, and the Smithsonian and museums holding nearly 137 million objects. We honored those who had served our nation, so much as to give up their identity, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.


Mission to Memphis Trip
Our Spring Break mission trip to Memphis was a GREAT success!  During Spring Break, a small group of VCS Freshmen and Mrs. Heise embarked on a service learning trip to Memphis, TN.  Students learned about the issues surrounding homeless families and how the Dorothy Day House is making a real difference in communities. At Orange Mound Outreach Ministries, our group was able to beautify a section of their property and spend a lot of time pouring into the lives of the many children who attend everyday.  Time was taken to visit the National Civil Rights Museum (a very powerful place!), attend a local church, take a tour of Memphis by air, and fellowship over dinner with the amazing BBQ only Memphis can offer!  The whole group is excited to go back next year!

Chapel Series
Our chapel mini-series, "Step," continues. The junior class presented a challenging message for each of us to "Step Up." Several class members shared how God is empowering them to step up into sacrificial serving opportunities and ways to venture into new territory with courage in their lives. From worship to the closing prayer, our juniors led a meaningful time of learning together. In one of the many powerful moments, Emily Ford share her passion for teaching swimming skills to young people who struggle with disabilities and her admonishment to all that we find ways to serve others, not just at school, but to also get off campus and make a difference in the world.
