Our helpers are volunteers as well as our student safety patrol. Please be courteous when driving or walking in the parking lot. The drop off & pick up lane is one way.

Gratefulness Letting others know by my words and my actions how they have benefited my life. “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 The Middle School Leadership Conference is designed to help students discover and develop their talents as a leader. Everyone has the potential to lead, and every day provides you with opportunities and possibilities to lead. Instead of just sitting and taking notes, this conference allowed our council to learn about leadership by getting involved in activities, engaging in group discussions, writing their thoughts, and setting goals to act on. Fun and interesting sessions helped them improve skills to become an effective leader and allowed them to have a great time. Thank you, to West Valley Christian Academy, for providing us this opportunity to grow and develop as leaders. ~ Mrs. C.
