Pastor Appreciation Gifts

October is Pastor Appreciation Month and in honor of our Pastors and the Pastors in our community, we made "Energy in a Jar". Working together we packed jars with "energy" foods for our Pastors.  

 Loading the jar's with "Energy"

 Working together!

 The end result!

Rainy Day

It was a heavy, dreary, rainy day at MVCA. As a result recess was indoors. The students came up with creative ways to keep busy!

 The boys played a competitive game of Checkers!

 Others tested their knowledge of the States and Capitals while putting together a US puzzle!

Finding fun in creating works of art!

Worm Inspection

The kindergarten students wanted to inspect the worms composting in the 1st/2nd grade classroom.  Because of the smell the inspection needed to take place outdoors!  It is amazing the things they eat...one kindergarten student wanted to know if they get a tummy ache.  Nope!  God has specially designed the worms to do this interesting and wonderful job.

Service Project to End Christian Education Week

We started Christian Education Week with a blizzard and ended the week with a wonderful, warm day cleaning Deer Blvd. leading to Riverside Acres. The students, staff, and parents spent Friday afternoon in the ditches with rubber gloves on the hands and garbage bags in the hands. Twenty large bags were collected along with other items too big for a bag. So, what "treasures" do you find along a busy stretch of a county road...a dead cat, a live cat, dead birds, Hannah Montana pillow, princess knee pad, 1/4 of a dollar bill, golf ball, bouncy ball, baseball, a filled out check, bones, and numerous car parts.  It was a fun afternoon ending with an ice cream treat and WATER at Dairy Queen.
