We have brought back our Latin program, which is taught by our new teacher, Mrs. Wanis. We wanted to interview her so that parents, students, and other teachers can learn more about her.
Mrs. Wanis learned to speak Latin from her aunt, Jill Watson, and yes, she’s in relation to Mr. Watson. In fact, Mrs. Wanis is Mr. Watson’s daughter. Mrs. Wanis said,
“It was good growing up in that Watson household; I’m a lot like my dad in the case that I love discussion and to talk about different things. I preferred to be with my family. They’re a lot of fun.”
Mrs. Wanis thinks that Latin can be easier to learn just because it’s more regular than English. With English, you have so many different forms of one word. With Latin, if there’s one rule, it always abides by that rule, but it can also be a little more difficult because there’s a lot more memorization.
Although Mrs. Wanis speaks Latin very well and is able to translate, she doesn’t consider herself to be fluent, because Latin isn’t a spoken language. She doesn’t know everything there is to know about it, but living in Egypt and being around the African and Arabic languages have enabled her to have a good ear and sound when learning language.
Mrs. Wanis said,"It (Latin) honestly benefits you when you’re trying to learn a new language.”
Mrs. Wanis said,”I’m excited that we started a Latin program here because it’ll help students with other subjects. It’s wonderful to learn, and we haven’t had a Latin program here for a long time.”
’m sure I speak for all of AVC when I say we’re more than happy Mrs. Wanis is here and we can’t wait to see how the year goes for her.

HS SLT
The student leadership team is looking forward to the 09-10 school year with great anticipation!We have many exciting events and service projects planned for the new future, andcan’t wait for the studentbody's participation. After a long summer of careful planning, we are hoping that this year’s events will be the best ones yet.
We are pleased to present an all-new service project: a jacket drive, beginning September 21st. We encourage students of all grades as well as staff and parents to raid their closets for gently used sweaters and jackets that will be donated to people in need around the High Desert. This will be a great way to give back to the community and give those in need a warm jacket just in time for winter.
On October 30th, we will be hosting our annual Harvest Festival complete with games, food, bounce house, prizes, and of course lots of candy. Everyone is invited to partake in this trick-or-treat alternative in a safe environment. Dressing up is also encouraged but no scary costumes, please! We hope to see you there.
The year is sure to be filled with wonderful events for the students to partake in, and we can’t wait for everyone to see what’s in store! Keep your eyes out for SLT events throughout the school year. We look forward to a great year.

New Discipline Policies
DRESS CODE
Parents and students, please read the dress code guidelines. If you do not have a copy of the dress code let the office know and we will be happy to give you one.
Just a few reminders:
· Girls, please make sure your skirts/dresses/shorts are to the knee; even with leggings, your shirts/skirts/dresses must be to the knee.
· You may wear professional dress slacks on chapel days. NO cords or colored jean type pants are allowed.
· Boys, please make sure you wear professional dress pants on chapel days. NO cords or colored jean type pants are allowed. Also, remember if you wear a shirt with a shirt-tail, it will need to be tucked in. Shirts that are straight cut at the bottom may be left untucked.
On chapel days we want to see our students in professional wear. Thank you for helping us prepare our students as they go into the work force and learn how to dress professionally.
If your student is out of dress code and you are unable to bring them a change of clothes, they will be required to change into PE clothes that are provided. Please wash and return them the next day. Thank you for your support as we encourage our students to have modest and appropriate dress. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Wells or Pastor Richart at AVCS.
TARDY POLICY
There have been a few changes in our tardy policy. Please note, if your student is tardy, we will give excused or unexcused tardies for record keeping only. However, once a student has reached 5 tardies (previously 3), regardless of excused or unexcused, they will serve a lunch detention. We realize there are times when your child has an appointment and will be late, but when they are late for whatever reason it is still disruptive to the class learning environment. Our tardy policy will be fully explained in our parent/student handbook, which will be available in the office soon. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Wells or Pastor Richart at AVCS.
Thank you for your support as we teach our students the value of being on time.
CELL PHONE POLICY
We do not allow cell phone use in the classrooms. Your students may use their cell phones at break and lunch as well as between classes. During class, we ask that they keep their phone on top of their desk at all times. Cell phone discipline procedure as follows:
1st Offense-their phone will be taken and turned into the office, and they lose phone privileges for four days. They must turn in their phone every morning and may pick up every afternoon.
2nd Offense-Parent must pick up their student's cell phone from the office.
3rd Offense-In-house suspension
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Wells or Pastor Richart at AVCS.

Concert on campus
AVCS presented their first Family Fun and Concert on Saturday, August 22nd. The day was filled with fun and games that kept the whole event buzzing with excitement. Parents as well as kids were able to participate in activities such as button making and face painting, to name a few. And if that wasn't enough, there were also a water slide, a bounce house, and even an obstacle course.
In addition to all these exciting features, live bands filled the evening with music. With songs from Southern Spirit and The Working Poets keeping everyone's foot tapping, there was not a dull moment throughout the day. Finally, snow cones, popcorn, and of course Pita Stop made sure no one went hungry. A special thanks goes out to all the people that made this exciting day so memorable.

From Pastor John
A Message from Pastor John….
Welcome back!!! I trust you had a great, relaxing summer filled with fun memories for your family. I know that for me personally, the summer was great, but I am thrilled that all of the students are back on campus. As of this writing, we have just completed our first week of school, and it has been a very good week. I would like to thank all of the teachers, students, parents and staff for your part in that.
If you have been around AVCS, you will notice some changes in our staffing and even in the way we do some things. I am excited about these changes and believe that they will continue to strengthen our school. This year we have four new teachers that you will hear more about in coming newsletters. They are: Rebecca Rodgers – P.E., Kirstin Vlodica – Spanish, Tyler Vlodica – Math & Science, and Julie Wanis – Latin. Chances are your student has at least one of these new teachers.
As we begin a new school year, I would like to present you with a challenge – challenge your student. You can be assured that their teachers will do their best to challenge them, but as a parent you know your child best and what it is that they are capable of doing. Encourage them to do their best in everything they do. Colossians 3:17 tells us, “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Our motto at Apple Valley Christian is, “Training Christian leaders committed to excellence”, and we consider it an honor to work with your student toward that goal. I believe that true excellence takes place as we do things for Christ and His glory (Colossians 3:23). With that in mind, it is my prayer that we would have an excellent year!
All for His Glory!

Newest Students
It’s a warm afternoon in mid-August, and I’m trailing three enthusiastic kindergartners out to the small and cozy kindergarten playground. My photographers and I examine the area and try to decipher what location is best for a photo-op, but Sierra, Faith, and Dillon don’t seem to notice our attempted attention to detail. They rush the slide and jungle gym and playfully argue over which playground is better- this one or the “big kid’s playground.” They immediately notice the large cameras my photographers are holding and decide to pose while they play, even mentioning that we should “ Get a picture of me sliding!” or simply chorusing “Cheeeeese!” in unison. These three have been kindergartners for one week exactly and seem completely adjusted and confident in their new-found titles. I settle down in the sand and prepare to ask them some questions. They climb and hang on the jungle gym while we chat. I begin with asking about their first day of school experience, were they scared, nervous, excited?
Sierra was quick to claim, “We didn’t cry at all!”
“I was never nervous at school,” adds Dillon.
“Did you know anyone on the first day?” I wonder.
“I knew her,” Faith and Sierra point at each other, “and I knew her.”
“What about you Dillon?” I prod.
He flashes a smile and says, "I didn’t know anyone until Mrs. Cooper called them up and told us their names, but after that, I knew EVERYONE.”
I can't help but smile and think to myself, if only in life it was still that easy. If we knew each other’s names we could be considered friends, but that is how it is in kindergarten, I suppose. “Do you have to take naps?” I asked.
“It’s not naps, it's rest!” Dillon reminds me.
“Oh, is that what they call it these days? Well do you like rest time?”
I am surprised with the answers I receive. “I like it!” says Sierra.
“I like it too; it makes my head feel better when I have a headache!" Faith adds.
As I am jotting down their answers, they watch me intently, and I then remember a very novel concept-they can’t read what I am writing. I turn to them and ask, “ Can you read?”
I receive a chorus of “no's” and “not yet’s”
This is such an interesting idea to me because I hardly know anyone who can’t read, and I wonder what they would like to read first once they learn how.
“I would like to read about God first,” says Dillon.
“We are all REALLY wanting to learn to read,” Faith stresses.
We continue to talk and the three are so articulate that I start to forget just how young my young companions are. I nonchalantly ask them what they look forward to in the next thirteen years. I expect answers like "learning cursive writing,” or “sports,” or “going to Evening of Elegance." The answers I receive make me laugh out loud and remind me just how innocent these new kindergartners are.
“Um, my birthday!” Faith says excitedly.
“Going to the zoo!” Sierra answers as she swings upside down from the playground equipment. “I would really like to sleep with the elephants. I love elephants! I collect them, you know."
Unfortunately, before long it is time for me to return to class and bid farewell to my new friends. As I say goodbye, I ask them all for a hug. The girls run over and give me a bear hug while Dillon is not so sure. He soon shyly comes over and gives a quick hug while the girls laugh and Faith giggles, "She got sugar and spice on you!”
My time with the kindergartners is brief, but inexplicably enjoyable, and it takes me back to a time when things were so much simpler. As I walk away from Mrs. Cooper’s class that day, I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to go to a school of kindergarten through twelfth graders. I feel that we can all learn so much from each other, and although I am leaving the school next year, I know that the school will be in extremely capable hands because the next generation of AVC students are a truly remarkable bunch.
