Happy Sabbath, VAA Family! 🌟


What a whirlwind of a week—it flew by! I hope you were able to enjoy the extra day from the holiday and get a little rest.


Here on campus, we’ve been hard at work preparing the Innovation Lab, and I can’t wait for you to see it! 🙌 Join us for the Prayer, Dedication, and Ribbon Cutting as we give thanks to God for this incredible blessing. Right after the ribbon cutting, don’t rush off—stick around for the Back-to-School Party hosted by our amazing Home & School team. It’s going to be a fun-filled evening for everyone! 🎉


A heartfelt thank you to those who have already supported our Sponsor a Tool campaign to help build the Innovation Lab. Every gift makes a difference, and we couldn’t do this without you! 💛 Please continue to support by clicking the link below.


I’ll keep it short and sweet today—but be sure to read the entire newsletter so you don’t miss any updates. Have a wonderful weekend, and I look forward to seeing everyone bright and early Monday morning! 🌞



Blessings,


E Holland

Ms. Pineda’s Class Led Chapel Today!


This morning, Ms. Pineda shared the sweetest story from her childhood about a house fire in the hills of Georgia and how God protected her family through it all. With the fire trucks unable to reach their home, it was the neighbors who came together to put out the fires—reminding us that God is always a present help in trouble and we can always count on Him to be there for us.

Thank you, Ms. Pineda, for such a heartfelt and inspiring worship thought!
