Easter Science Part 3!

Easter Monday Science! 🧪🐰In this experiment, Mrs. Thomason dissolves styrofoam in acetone. The styrofoam completely disappears like our sins completely disappear when we ask Jesus into our heart! 💖🧫

Easter Science Part 2!

We’re back with more Easter science! 🥼🐰 Sometimes, we can be afraid to share what we believe. Before the resurrection, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times because he was afraid. Thankfully, with God, we don’t need to be afraid! Just like London didn’t need to fear walking across these eggs, we don’t need to fear showing others we believe in Jesus! ❤️🥚

How amazing is this art? 😍🎨 The lower school art show highlighted some gorgeous portraits, landscapes, and dioramas! What will these little artists make next? 👨‍🎨🖼

It’s a perfect day for pajamas and a good book! How are you spending Spring Break? 📚❤️
#throwbackthursday #readacrossamerica

Spring break is a great time to share our favorite school memories! Do you remember learning to play bucket drums with Mrs. O? First grade rocks! 🥁🎶

You’re invited! 💝 Our upper school student volunteers packed hundreds of egg cartons full of goodies to invite you to Easter at Community Church! 🥚💕

RSVP at communitychurch.cc or join us online!

Easter science! 👩‍🔬🐣 Mrs. Holmberg shows us the egg in a bottle science experiment to demonstrate with God the impossible is possible! 🥚😁

In memory of Pastor Arlie

Today, we honor the memory of our founding pastor. Pastor Arlie Whitlow Jr. lived an exemplary life of obedience to God, and we are proud to carry on his legacy.

This is Pastor Arlie’s message and prayer for our first graduation class in 2017.

We 💙 our student leaders! Is there a leader that you admire?

Every year, the leadership conference is an opportunity to invest in our VAA student leaders! This year our NHS, NJHS, SCA, and Sports Captains focused on growing into a leader that others want to follow 💙🤍💛

This week, Mr. Tuten finished off our series “Gold From Golgotha.” He spoke about God’s love and the gift of Heaven.

“There is nothing you could say or do to make God love you anymore than he already does right now.”

Happy (early) Birthday, Mr. Feathers!! Students and teachers worked together to surprise our Upper school principal with singing, banners, balloons and cake! 🥳🎉🎂

Thank you for all you do, Mr. Feathers! Have a great birthday!

Recognize these familiar faces? Congratulations to grades 3-5 for an AMAZING performance last night! Way to go! 🎭💙🤩

Who wore it best? 💚 We’re lucky our students look so good in green! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Leprechauns?! 😱☘️ Some of our classrooms had some St. Patrick’s day mischief! Good thing K3 and K4 are building leprechaun traps! 😉💚

Last week was filled with great news and excitement at #VAA!

Shout out to Ms. Viljoen and all the students who put on a fabulous production — great job everyone! Both the #VAAvolleyball and #VAAsoccer teams had a fantastic start to their season. And, we move into spring acknowledging the students who were inducted into the #NHS and #NJHS. Success leaves clues and we continue watching the #VAAclassof2021 prepare for their next journey. #collegebound #careerready #performingarts #athletes #scholars
