Secondary Corner Dec. 2011

Secondary Corner Dec. 2011
Dates and events to remember:
• Seniors should be applying to their top three choices of colleges during this time of year. Some early application deadlines have already passed, so be sure that you are checking on application deadlines!
• The PSAT results will be arriving soon for all 9th through 11th graders who took the test in October. Please ask your student to see their results; if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Huff.
• Report cards will be mailed home after Christmas break, as the teachers complete grades for the semester; however, you will be able to access them on edline prior to that time.
• Parents of seniors will want to plan to have their taxes done early this year, if at all possible, for the filing of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which will have to be completed by March 2nd, 2012. On this form, you can estimate your tax information, if need be, but it is a smoother process if you have them already completed. Watch for the FAFSA worksheet that Mrs. Huff will send home soon.
• Senior parents, please be sure that your senior has ordered their cap and gown. This is the minimum that must be ordered from Jostens, and the prices all increase after the first of the year, so please have all orders completed.
• Homecoming tickets can soon be purchased in front of the office before and after school. Purchase tickets soon, as the price will increase as we get closer to the event! The homecoming game is Friday, January 27th, and the banquet and dance is on Saturday, January 28th, 2012.

Elementary Corner - Dec 2011

"Joy to the World! The Lord is Come." The holidays are here and the elementary deparptment is alive with excitement and activities.

First, we would like to invite you to the AVCS Band Concert, under the direction of Mr. Jim Schulder, on Saturday, December 10th in the Fellowship Hall at 3:00pm. Come with the whole family and enjoy some holiday music! Next, please plan to attend the Elementary Choir Christmas Celebration,"Stranger in the Manger," under the direction of Mrs. Gwen Schulder. This heart warming musical will be presented Tuesday, December 13th at 6:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. The students have been diligently preparing for both of these events. Please come out and support the elementary music programs at AVCS.

Next, we would like to congratulate and recognize our Spelling Bee winners: First Grade - David Littell, Second Grade - Faith Vandenberg, Third Grade - Ethan Boggs, Fourth Grade - Hailey Richart, and Fifth Grade - Kamaryn Walker. These students will represent our school at the Association of Christian Schools International District Spelling Bee on January 20th (1st - 4th) and January 27th (5th). We are so proud of them!

If you haven't already, please stop by and choose an angel from our Angel Tree in the school office. Your generosity will brighten a child's Christmas. Angel Tree gifts are due in the office on December 9th. Thank you and God bless you as you give.

Finally, please be reminded that the last week before vacation, December 19th - 21st, are half days with a noon dismissal. Elementary lunch will be served at the normal time. Be on the lookout for specific details from your child's teacher on holiday parties and activities.

On behalf of the AVCS elementary department, we wish you a blessed and joyful holiday season. Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
