The Friday at 5:00 Breakdown: 

Dear BVCS Families,

As we move toward Thanksgiving, our hearts are especially full of gratitude for you and for the privilege of partnering together in Christian education. Scripture reminds us, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever” (Psalm 107:1). Each day, we see God’s goodness reflected in your children, in our staff, and in this incredible community. BVCS is more than a school — it is a place shaped by faith, gratitude, and the transforming work of Christ, and we are truly thankful for each family God has brought here.

Do-A-Thon: Nearly $50,000 Raised!
We are thrilled to share that Do-A-Thon 2025 has already raised nearly $50,000! Thank you, families, for your support. As students raise funds for BVCS and partner with local and global ministries, they’re learning that generosity is an act of worship and that faith is something we live out tangibly. Your encouragement at home is making a powerful impact. You can learn more about the Do-A-Thon HERE.

Superintendent Search Update
At this time, we have completed the paper screening phase with two candidates, and we will be moving forward with first-round interviews with one of the candidates. Thank you for joining us in prayer as we seek God’s direction and provision.

Modesto Gospel Mission Coat Drive: Final Week
Our Coat Drive with the Modesto Gospel Mission wraps up at the end of next week. Families are invited to donate new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, and blankets. Thank you for helping your children participate with such generous hearts.

Thank You for Living the BVCS Difference
Thank you to the 100+ families that submitted the Family Fall Survey. We will share a summary of the results in next week's Friday @ 5:00. 

Your partnership—through prayer, participation in school events, and support of initiatives like Do-A-Thon and the Coat Drive continues to strengthen our community and shape the spiritual lives of our students. We are deeply grateful for the ways you live out the mission of BVCS alongside us.

As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, we remain confident that God is building something great here at BVCS...for our students, our community, and His Kingdom.

With gratitude,

Bobby Kirchner, Superintendent & Michelle Mott, Assistant Superintendent
