Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News! 
HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSINGS
As of early Thursday afternoon, almost 50 VCHS families have made generous gifts and pledges to this year’s Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere Campaign. Thank you so much. I’m incredibly encouraged with our families’ participation, especially during such a difficult year for so many.

We’re not finished yet. As I’ve said, this is a 5-day blitz with the campaign closing on Friday at midnight. If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to view both our 5 Days|5 Reasons video and slideshow. To make a gift or pledge now, please CLICK HERE.

After the campaign is over, we look forward to sharing an Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere Honor Roll thanking all of those who participated. On behalf of the faculty and staff, we are so grateful for our VCHS parents.   

Go Saints!

Warm Regards,
Steve O'Neil
