Spring, 2010

Dear Ygnacio Valley Christian School families,

What a blessing it is to greet you as we enter into the second semester of our school year. My first letter to you spoke to the anticipation of a new school year and how excited we were about this ministry. Please be assured that my enthusiasm has not been altered one bit as I have seen God’s hand at work in so many ways. Thank you all for your prayers, your financial support, and your shared vision for YVCS. Collectively, and with the God’s hand upon us, we have seen the blossoming of a wonderful school year!

Our enrollment has stayed steady throughout the year. Thank you for that! Yes, we do need to continue to pray for each of our grades that His hand will be upon the enrollment for the fall. Currently we have space in every grade but my hope is that we will increase our enrollment by 10 to15 students for the fall of 2010. Each of the grades is so unique and staffed by such wonderful and godly people that I am certain that your child will receive the best Christian school education possible. Please come by and observe our classes. I know you will find the perfect blend of academic challenge and spiritual emphasis in each of our grades.

Our technology emphasis has taken a wonderful new direction with the addition of a wireless computer lab. We now have the capability of computer access in every classroom which will enable our students to integrate technology into appropriate curricular areas. Science, mathematics, history, and other key subjects will be explored in some exciting new ways.

Our music program continues to be an integral part of the school’s culture. Currently, we have a beginning and advanced band that takes part in our special programs as well as our Friday chapel services. Coral music is also offered to our fourth and fifth grade students.

Most importantly, God’s presence continues to be our number one blessing each and every day. Our students are well grounded in the Word, are being taught Christian principles in the various subject areas, and are reminded daily of our selected character traits that are woven into the school day. I am so thankful that God has entrusted us with the nurturing of your children in these vital areas. The school, coupled with a strong spiritual base at home, will ensure the development of your children with a strong Christian character.

So please continue to pray for us. God’s blessings know no end as we continue to seek His counsel and educate His children. I am humbled to be the principal of such a caring community. Where would we be without prayer, dedication to school, and genuine commitment to Christian education? I am so thankful you have chosen to be a part of a very exciting and blessed time at YVCS!

By God’s grace,
 

Bob Johnson
