Pancake Breakfast

Pancake Breakfast

The seniors held their annual Pancake Breakfast on November 14th. Words to describe this event: tasty, fun, delicious, early, yummy, cartoonish, mmmmmgood. The students worked really hard and were able to raise a lot of money for their senior trip. Yay! I was able to buy a basket of American food during the auction. Believe me, that made the day totally worth it! My favorite things in the basket? Diet Dr. Pepper, Cream Soda, and Chocolate Pop Tarts. I don’t know what Matt’s favorite thing is, but I do know that he’s eaten all the Frito’s.

VCS Cross Country Season Recap

by

Cross Country

For the first time in 8 years Vienna Christian School fielded a Cross Country Team. The team consisted of only one boy and one girl, but we had a lot of fun and I’m really proud of how they improved over the course of the season.

We weren’t able to run against other schools, so we ran in small races in and around Vienna. The races ranged in length from 4K-6K, and they ran well from the start.

They each placed first in their age group at our first race and never looked back.

I think one of my runners sums up the season quite well:

“Thank you for coaching our cross country team! Even though our team was tiny, we accomplished a lot (with our trophies and medals :))…I enjoyed my last cross country season in high school.”

Fall Festival

Fall Festival

October 30 was the annual VCS Fall Festival which just happened to be my very first PTF event. It was great. Fall Festival is a night of carnival games, singing, and a pie in the face contest. I’m so glad that even though I was in charge, it was still just as much fun as ever. The best part for me has been the contact with new parents as a result of this night. My goal is to get more and more parents involved with the school, and it turns out that having a great event gets them excited enough to ask to be involved. Fantastic! So now I have a few new parents who are ready to help with our next event. Please be praying for this ministry. There are so many incredible opportunities to reach out to families. Our next big event is International Family Fun Night in February. I can’t wait!

My friend Melissa posted some videos of the elementary kids singing. They’re cute. You can check them out here: MelMac’s Blog

Cooperation

by

This year we have a new elementary chaplain. Her name’s Melissa, and she is awesome! Each month she’s teaching the elementary students about a specific character trait. For the month of October, the trait was Cooperation. During the last chapel of the month the kids performed skits of different Bible stories that demonstrate cooperation. Then the fifth grade class performed a group juggling act to show how cooperating can allow you to do cool things. Here, see for yourself:

And here is a bonus video to brighten your day – the Primary (Kindergarten) kids singing Good Morning.
