We need your help with the parking
lot. Our helpers are volunteers as
well as our student safety patrol.
Please be courteous when driving or
walking in the parking lot. The drop
off & pick up lane is one way. Please
stay to the right of the road and do
not exit out of a lane the wrong way.
If we all work together the drop off &
pick up is more efficient and safer for
everyone.
The parking in front of the church is
reserved for Church Office Visits
Only.

The Cold and Flu season is

Letting others know by my

they have benefited my life.
“Give thanks in all

God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians
5:18
The Middle School Leadership Conference is
designed to help students discover and
develop their talents as a leader. Everyone
has the potential to lead, and every day
provides you with opportunities and
possibilities to lead. Instead of just sitting
and taking notes, this conference allowed
our council to learn about leadership by
getting involved in activities, engaging in
group discussions, writing their thoughts,
and setting goals to act on. Fun and
interesting sessions helped them improve
skills to become an effective leader and
allowed them to have a great time. Thank
you, to West Valley Christian Academy, for
providing us this opportunity to grow and
develop as leaders. ~ Mrs. C. Smith and the
