NEW NEWS
MARCH/APRIL RECAP:
In the place of a March and April Recap video, we'd like you to watch this new BVCS video, created to share a few stories about the generational impact of BVCS:
DID YOU MISS OUR LAST SESSION OF THE YEAR?
Throughout the year, we have offered informative sessions on the different dangers kids face. The last session of the month was on the dangers of technology. You can listen to the recording of the session here:
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT NEEDED!
We are now taking applications for a Receptionist/Administrative Assistant for Big Valley Christian Elementary School front office. Full-time, year round position with benefits.
Submit application and Letter of Interest or any questions to Marsha Holbrook at marshah@bvg.org. Applications may be downloaded from bvcs.org.
PELANDALE:
We have been advised that construction will start on April 9 and run through June 13 at Pelandale Ave from Dale Rd to Detroit Ln, during the hours of 7:00 AM -5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Residential and business access will remain open.
TUITION ASSISTANCE UPDATE:
As a ministry of Big Valley Grace Community Church, Big Valley Christian School has impacted thousands of students and families for almost 50 years by providing a Christ-centered, college & career-prep education that is second to none. Each year, BVGCC receives a special Tuition Assistance Offering for the BVCS Tuition Assistance scholarship program, which provides partial scholarships to families who financially qualify.
This fund has helped more than 100 students during the 2023-2024 school year. These are students who desire to receive a Christian education but would not otherwise be able to attend. This weekend’s Tuition Assistance Offering at Big Valley Grace raised $22,000 through the generous giving of so many. We still have a ways to go! The challenge before us is to raise at least $90,000. If you are able to give and help us meet our goal, please make a gift today. Your gift has never mattered more than it does right now!
You can give online at bvg.org/give, or text TAF to 361-428-2782
Thank you for partnering with us as we seek to honor the Lord and fulfill our mission to nurture and equip our students to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
Blessings,
Michelle Mott, Superintendent

Do-A-Thon 2023!
We are so close to hitting out 2023 Do-A-Thon goal of $130,000! But it's not too late. We can still take donations online and turned into the offices. Mrs. Mott said she is still ready to be slimed! So let's do it! Just $3,883 to reach our goal!
Want to see some of the sweet and amazing ways BVCS students were serving during the Do-A-Thon? Go to our website to find the cute pics. JH/HS will be having serve days in the spring and all of our classes will be praying for their missionaries this year.
We are so thankful for your generosity! God is doing great things at and through our school!
AUCTION UPDATE:
The Big Valley Christian School DINNER & AUCTION was a huge success! Between our sponsors, bidders, and tickets, we were able to raise over $60,000 for the BVCS IMPACT Fund.
In order to live out its mission to nurture and equip students to impact the world for Christ — and to do this with excellence while remaining affordable — Big Valley Christian School needs God’s people to provide financial resources for one critical fund: The IMPACT Fund. The difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of providing an education at BVCS is the margin of excellence that makes all the difference for students, staff, and families. Each year, we rely on four events to build our budget: The golf tournament, the Do-A-Thon, the auction, and the tuition assistance offering weekend (April 27 & 28).
Each event allows BVCS to share our ministry work with our valued partners who generously support our work. These events and the generosity of God's people continue to make it possible for us to live out our mission to nurture and equip students to impact the world for Christ.
