Letter from the President

The month of December is always a very special time at Valley Catholic School, as we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth. We are truly enjoying a number of Christmas programs and music concerts that showcase our students’ musical talents – from our youngest students in the Early Learning School up through the High School band, choir and orchestra concerts.

A Very Valiant Christmas

A Very Valiant Christmas

Last night, our community came together for A Very Valiant Christmas, a celebration filled with joy and holiday spirit. Families enjoyed Christmas Olympics, holiday crafts, student performances, prizes, and more. Our 30 foot tall snowman made a memorable appearance, and many took photos with Santa as part of the evening’s fun.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night special. This event was open to the entire community and we were grateful to celebrate the season together. You can view more photos from the event on our Flickr.
