Middle and High School Spirit Week
This week was an amazing time of bonding together as a community! Students dressed up each day according to a different theme, high school students put on amazing skits, and each class competed to raise money for a selected non-profit through Penny Wars! Our teachers even surprised the students with a special pirates themed dance today at the final rally! It has been such an exciting week on campus to see our students come together and celebrate being at Valley Christian!
Fourth Grade Field Trip to Levi Stadium
This week, our fourth graders went to Levi's Stadium to participate in their STEAM activity program. This year's program focused on the importance of balanced nutrition and featured an interactive lesson on the iPad Tables, a stadium tour, and a "PE" class during which students competed with each other in two actual NFL relays!
A fun and educational time was had by all!
Safety Update
The Safety Committee is very pleased to announce the completion of a new, dedicated, completely stocked Safety Shed. The Safety Shed has enough water, food and emergency supplies to sustain our campus for two to three days. This project took over a year to complete and involved our facilities team, the Safety Committee members and students. A special thanks goes to Sara Heise (Safety Committee Member) that coordinated many of the activities to make this happen. See pictures below.
