Dear YVCS families and friends,

Where has the first half of this year gone? I am writing you a quick note as the calendar turns into early spring and am amazed that half the school year is behind us! February 1 also signals the start of our early enrollment period for the 2012-13 school year. As most of you know, the school board crafted a new tuition policy and a new TAP tool (Tuition Assistance Program) which will afford us the opportunity to distribute tuition assistance based on need. I am excited about both of these concepts because they offer more of our families an opportunity to have financially flexibility.

More importantly, though, is the decision to re-enroll your child for the coming year. This is a decision that should be carefully prayed about because each family will ask the Lord to give them wisdom and insight as to whether or not they should continue at YVCS. We pray as a staff on many occasions during the year to provide us with the godly atmosphere that is so important in each classroom. We take that trust very seriously and are committed to providing our families with the best Christian education possible.

Ultimately, the process of choosing a Christian school for your child is one of the most important decisions any family can make. We want to be in partnership with you, to answer any questions you may have, and to pray for God’s direction.

Have faith that the Lord is in control of everything. We just need to listen to His voice as we seek His will!

By God’s grace,

Bob Johnson
Principal

Just a reminder that early registration for the 2012-13 school year will begin on Wednesday, February 1. The fee is $160 dollars through the month and becomes $220 on March 1. The incoming third grade is especially full so please act quickly to insure your spot. If you have any questions, be sure and contact Mr. Johnson in the school office.

 Our students thoroughly enjoyed a visit from these musicians from Mr.Walker’s alma mater.  After several fun pieces they treated us to a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace.

A new time and a new place! Join Mrs. Cornell and our praying ladies Mondays at 2pm in the Fireside Room!

Patriotic Program is not that far away!  Make sure your calendars have the new date of  TUESDAY, FEB.7th, at 7pm. Join us at Clayton Valley Church (5430 Michigan Blvd.) for inspiring music from our own YVCS band and the beauty of children’s voices from our various choirs.  This is coming up soon so remember to invite those grandparents, family friends, co-workers and prospective families.  Mr. Walker would greatly appreciate our kids to practice, practice, practice!

Teacher Appreciation Luncheon is early this year! The theme is “100 Reasons Why We Love Our Teachers”.  We will be hosting a Taco Bar Feast on Friday, February 10th, for our teachers and staff.  Room Moms have information of various items to donate and ways to help.  We are especially in need of volunteers setting up the day of the luncheon and food donations for the Taco Bar.  Thank you for any help you can offer, great or small.

YVCS Book Fair  We are so excited about offering a Christian book fair for our families this year.  Inspirational Family Books will be set up in the sanctuary over 2,000 different books and products including pre/K, childrens, pre/teen, adult/teacher, and an educational products section.  Profits from this book fair will go directly to the YVCS library.

Presidents Holiday We are fairly certain all students know that our “Presidents Weekend” is a four day holiday, February 17-20. We trust you’ll enjoy four days of family fun and renewal.

YVCS Prospective Family Open House is this Thursday, January 26, at 7PM!  Students K-8 will be showing off book reports, heart models, science projects, California projects, and art of all varieties.  Invitations to hand out to prospective families are available in the office.  Don’t forget a $500 tuition credit is offered to families who refer new students.

…and praying for winter rain!

Our fourth graders finished their study of Spanish & Mexican California with a fun fiesta. They especially enjoyed making tortillas and dancing to mariachi music.
