Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News!

VCHS parents rose to the challenge last week! In only 5 days, 53% made a gift or pledge to the Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere Fund supporting our 17 Hi-Tech Classrooms. Thank you so much to all of those who participated last week and who are listed on the Honor Roll. If you haven’t yet made a gift or pledge, it’s not too late. Feel free to do that here. We will continue to update the Honor Roll through the end of December.
Through the board of directors, faculty/staff, and parents, we have raised almost $60,000 towards our $120,000 working goal for this effort. With your additional parent support, as well as through our alumni parents and friends, I’m certain we will reach our goal.
Thank you to all of our Class Captains listed below. We now have 17 DTENs and stands – an investment of almost $70,000. We’ve been using them daily with teachers and students alike at home. Over the next few weeks we are working with our teachers to add additional Hi-Tech classroom features including secondary monitors and enhanced cameras and speakers to ensure students at home or at school have all they need for a seamless, virtual education when they are ‘anywhere.’ It’s such a good feeling to stay connected in real-time with those who cannot be at school.
I’m deeply grateful for the generosity of our VCHS community, especially in a year with so much sacrifice, including those experiencing financial challenge. Thank you so much for your support of our students, teachers, and school. And let’s thank God for His many blessings toward us this 1st quarter.
Warm Regards,
Steve O'Neil

It's not goodbye yet... we are so grateful for the service of these two individuals who will each be stepping away from their roles at VCHS later this school year. Sheldon, our Facilities Director, will be working through the end of December and Heather, Director of Admissions, is staying through June. Lucky for us, we will still see them in their roles as coach Kuhns and volunteer extraordinaire, Heather Downey. If you or someone you know may be interested in finding out more about these opportunities, please contact Steve O'Neil.
