Dear High School Families,
October has been an incredible month of community and connection—Homecoming, spiritual growth through chapels, and leadership in action. We are so proud of how our students continue to live out their faith.
As we move into November, we encourage our students to finish the semester strong academically and spiritually. Oour high schoolers have several opportunities to model servant leadership...whether it's donating to the Modesto Gospel Mission's coat drive, volunteering at the community's Night to Shine, or supporting a younger BVCS student's Do-A-Thon project, there are many ways for our biggest Lions to grow!
Coming Up:
Veterans' Chapel: Nov. 7
Thanksgiving Break: Nov. 24-28
In His service,
Cindy Alavezos
High School Principal

We’re partnering with the Modesto Gospel Mission to collect “bundle-up” items for those in need this fall. You’ll see collection barrels around campus beginning next week—bring new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, and blankets to share warmth with our community.
Let’s help the Modesto Gospel Mission prepare for their Thanksgiving at the Mission outreach by giving generously!
