Dear PVCA Families,
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, it reminds me of the gratitude that I have for our PVCA community. When there are needs our PVCA family never fails to provide the necessary assistance and comfort; your efforts are tireless and we thank you. I pray each of you has a much needed and deserved restful and blessed time with your families over the Thanksgiving break.
When the students return next week, we will be hosting our 4th annual Giving Tuesday event on Tuesday, December 3. Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to encouraging acts of kindness and generosity. It presents the perfect opportunity for us to come together as a school family and make a meaningful impact.
This year, we invite each of you to participate in Giving Tuesday in ways that are meaningful to you. Whether through a financial donation or simply lifting our school and community in prayer, every gesture of support is valued and appreciated.
This Giving Tuesday, we are hoping to raise $75,000 to help us achieve a milestone of $450,000 by December 31. Your gift, no matter the size, provides financial aid, enhances programs, and ensures that PVCA remains a place where faith and learning thrive.
We encourage you to login to Facebook on Tuesday, December 3rd from 7:00AM-9:00PM to view our LIVE content, interviews with families and alumni, and prerecorded student messages.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving,
Caroline
