We Appreciate Our Faithful Stewards
2020 Beyond the Building
Year-End Campaign
In consideration of the three school fundraisers planned for this year, NVCATM has received an offer to match your pledges and donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to $250,000. As you know, proceeds from these events cover the 20% gap in costs to educate and provide special programs for our students and staff. We are excited to announce that we've received $15,000 in matching dollars in conjunction with the Fun Run and Color Run, which brought in $41,000 for a total of $66,000.

God has graciously gifted NVCA with wonderful families who love our school and, especially, who love the Lord and have faithful and giving hearts. We want you all to know how blessed we are to have you as part of our school. Your faithful serving, sharing, and giving are what uphold the foundation of our mission and help us deliver on our promises.

Just prior to the Thanksgiving break, you should have received our Beyond the Building Year-End Campaign mailing. We thank you in advance for your Year-End Campaign gifts and pledges, and we pray God protects and blesses you and your family this holiday season.

Gift envelopes may be dropped off at the front office or mailed using the pre-addressed envelope provided with the donation form. If you prefer to donate online, a payment link is available at northvalleyca.org/giving. Feel free to contact Chris Schoenleb at chriss@northvalleyca.org or Sara Sauceda at saras@northvalleyca.org should you have any questions.

We Ran for $40,000 and Won Big
Yay! We Surpassed Our Goal
Students and staff alike participated in the Fun Run and Color Run on October 30. We are so excited and proud to have reached and surpassed this year's Fun Run/Color Run fundraising goal. To further enhance NVCA's well-rounded educational experience, the proceeds will support expenses for
  • a garden,
  • the band program,
  • iPads and carts, and
  • a school comfort dog.

Thank you, donors, for your generous sponsorship and gifts that helped raise $41,000. Thank you, teachers and staff, for all your encouragement and help with the event. Most of all, thank you, students, for your passion and energy for the Fun Run and Color Run.
