Dear BVCS Families,
September has been a month of laying foundations — in classrooms, chapels, and partnerships with families — and now it all comes together as we wrap up Homecoming Week. From day one, we have been focused on Building Something Great, and this month we have seen how God has guided our steps (Proverbs 3:5–6) and how our community has encouraged one another in faith (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
September Foundations
September Foundations
Back to School Nights & Student Success Team meetings strengthened the parent-teacher partnership, creating momentum for student growth.
See You at the Pole drew record attendance, a reminder of our Christ-centered foundation.
Elementary, Junior High, and High School each marked academic excellence — with national-level MAP growth in elementary, upward momentum in junior high, and college- and career-readiness on display in high school.
Alumni connections deepened with panels, life updates, and return visits, reminding us that the BVCS family extends far beyond graduation.
Building Toward Homecoming
Building Toward Homecoming
Our Board and staff celebrated new faculty and a strong financial start, while strengthened chapel safety measures affirmed our commitment to care for every student. Each step this month has pointed us toward what’s ahead: a vibrant, faith-filled community that grows stronger together.
And now — it’s time to celebrate that community. Homecoming is here! With blue and gold pride, student events, alumni gatherings, and our Friday night game, Homecoming is the perfect picture of what we’ve been building all month: a place where students are known, families are connected, alumni are welcomed back, and Christ is at the center of it all.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you. Thank you for your prayers, your presence, and your partnership as we build futures and live the BVCS Difference together.
With gratitude,
Bobby Kirchner, Superintendent
Michelle Mott, Assistant Superintendent
Thank You, BVCS Families!
Thank You, BVCS Families!
This August and September, 52 individuals and families gave generously to support Christ-centered education at BVCS. These gifts came from current parents, alumni parents, staff, board members, and grandparents — showing how wide and deep the BVCS family runs.
Here’s what that looked like:
Many families gave as regular givers, forming the foundation of support.
Others became recurring donors, investing month after month and providing stability for our school’s future.
Alumni parents continue to invest long after their children have graduated — a powerful testimony of BVCS’s lasting impact.
Staff, board members, and grandparents joined in to strengthen the mission.
Two BVG families blessed BVCS with extraordinary gifts of $10,000 and $15,000.
Every gift matters — big or small. Together, our community is building something great and making an eternal impact in the lives of students. 💙💛
