Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News!

As the pandemic loosens its vice-like grip on us, it’s time for an optimistic hope to be renewed – better days lie ahead. I’m thinking a lot about the school-fun we’ll have together in April and May, and I’m planning for how I want to see my own summer unfold. I no longer feel stuck in pandemic quicksand but on more solid ground. If it’s not happened for you already, it’s time to make a mental and emotional shift – to plan springs, summers, and falls so that we have things for which to hope – things for which to look forward.
At school, I’m looking forward to moving chapels back to Grace Auditorium, holding Prom, and celebrating our Class of ‘21 at Commencement. I’m looking forward to summer travel with my family and backpacking along the Colorado Trail. I’m looking forward to the start of a non-pandemic school year in August and welcoming the Class of ‘25.
It’s good to hope for healthy things. God has wired us that way. But it’s even better to hope for spiritual things – eternal things – things that can NEVER be taken from us. As we say goodbye to the pandemic, let’s not replace hope in God, or the hope that come from Him, with earthly things that will never compare. Let’s hope for both!
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13

Improvements to Our Campus |
|
You may have noticed some changes around campus when you returned from Spring Break. Check out the new carpet in the East Building, the logo seal behind the front desk and the new logos in the Gym on the scoreboards and stats table.
Big bravos to JC Moritz for his hard work coordinating the gym updates and the new carpet install in the East Building. As JC put it, "The V pattern is for Victory, and it leads to the weight room."
Thanks to Heidi Cofelice for designing and installing the seal, and a BIG THANK YOU to Parent Association for funding the updates in the Gym.

Unity in Humanity - God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth.
Acts 17:26
|
|
Studio Art II Artists collaborated on a large format artwork, Unity in Humanity, currently displayed in the West Building. |
|
The artwork focused on deconstructing race using color theory. Each student mixed red, yellow, blue (primary colors) and white paints to make their own unique (brown) skin tone formula then painted in their profile silhouette. |
|
Watch them compete live HERE. Registration required. VCHS competes tomorrow at 11:18am.

Students Shoulder to Shoulder is a locally-based non-profit that gives students the opportunity to learn about ethical leadership from inspiring nonprofit leaders. Students discover the complexity of global challenges while immersed in the communities they serve, working with children and focused on the environment.
SStS has a bold purpose – to grow a global network of ethical leaders. This summer, SStS is offering 9 global, domestic, and Colorado based trips. There is also a Colorado trip based in Boulder in which students will work with Thorne Nature Experience connecting environmental stewardship and a youth camp program. VCHS students can apply for this opportunity and join other SStS member school students. If there’s enough interest from VCHS students, as well as from a few of our faculty, SStS has agreed that the trip could be solely tailored for VCHS. It’s currently scheduled July 25-August 7. |
