Athletic Holidays 

Finishing the Semester Strong & Competing Through the Holidays

As we come to the close of the first semester, we want to pause and celebrate the hard work our student-athletes have shown both in the classroom and on the court, field, and track. Finishing academically strong is no small task, especially for athletes balancing practices, games, travel, and the expectations placed on them as leaders within our school community. We are proud of the discipline, and commitment our athletes continue to demonstrate.

Moving into the holiday season, our athletic programs enter a unique stretch. While many of their classmates take time away from school, our athletes continue to practice, compete, and represent Big Valley Christian with excellence. This can be demanding. It asks for more of their time, their energy, and, their families.

Even as we push through this demanding stretch, never forget our true purpose: to share and honor Christ through sport-win or lose.

How we play, how we treat opponents, how we respond to adversity, and how we carry ourselves in victory or in defeat all communicate who and whose we are. BVC athletics is more than competition. It is passion. It is testimony. It is all worship.

As we head into the holidays, may we continue to grow—stronger academically, tighter as teams, more unified as a community, and deeper in our walk with Christ.

Together, we are building more than athletes—we are building a family in Christ.

Go Lions!
