Shenandoah Today FY2022 Annual Giving Report

Giovanna Moraes ‘22 Graduation Weekend Testimony

The past four years have been an absolute blessing. I made so many friends I will keep for all my life. I also found a friend in Jesus. Through different Bible classes, vespers, and Weeks of Prayer, I learned who Jesus really is.

Life is not always easy, but God has never and will never abandon me or any student on this campus. SVA pushed me to call on God at any moment in my life. When I first came in 2018, I was so scared. I didn’t know who I was or what was to come. Here I learned to be responsible, to put myself first when needed, and to not give up. I might still be learning who I am, but I am very happy with who I have become so far. Activities like 30 Hour Famine, homeless trips, and community service days showed me how much I love to help people. SVA helps those in need and I’m so grateful I was a part of that. Shenandoah Valley Academy will always hold a special place in my heart. This campus is my second home, and I hope others to come will feel the same way. Thank you to all the teachers, staff members, and donors who have made the school a better place. God built this school for a reason and has brought each and every one of us to this campus. I pray God continues to bless this school and that one day I can give back and help students come here.

God built this school for a reason and has brought each and every one of us to this campus.

Notes from the Principal

Reviewing the history of Shenandoah Valley Academy, Pastor Buz Menhardt recently preached: “117 years ago God stirred Charles Zirkle’s heart to ‘build a school on the land of my family inheritance.’ He wanted to follow the instruction of Ellen White to build a school where students learn to Serve Christ, Value Knowledge, and Accept and Life of Service. We are here because Charles had a generous heart and a clear vision of how such a school would bring blessings to untold generations of students.”

SVA is sustained similarly by you, Alumni and Friends. Your generous hearts are stirring with the same clear vision to educate current and future generations of students as disciples of Jesus. Thank you for your vision and ongoing financial investment that is essential to sustaining this all-important mission.

Here is what you made possible for fiscal year July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Thank you for your financial gifts combined with the gifts of others, for the school program, tuition assistance, and projects, totaling $2,831,480 for the SVA Annual Fund and the wonderful the Zirkle Gym Project (see page 3). Because of your faithful financial support SVA had an operating increase for the eighth consecutive year. Because of you!

MOST IMPORTANTLY your generous financial gifts helped provide more than $875,000 in tuition assistance and scholarships to qualified students. This is less student aid awarded than in previous years. The reason? In 2021-2022 student labor costs increased by more than $200,000 because of government required wage increases. Higher student wages offset the need for tuition assistance, but not the need for unrestricted gift dollars to help fund student wages. Your unrestricted gifts helped fund the wage increases AND your worthy student gifts helped fund needs-based tuition assistance. Your generous gifts helped meet this $1,000,000+ challenge for SVA and worthy students. Thank you very much!

For 2022-2023, there is an enthusiastic, positive, spiritual tone among the students. During Week of Prayer 18 students came forward asking for baptismal studies. Joseph Pelote ’24 was the first student baptized in the Shenandoah River on Parents Weekend. Praise the Lord! The academic program is growing this year with three new full-time faculty positions: a Spanish-ESL teacher; a “Dream Manager” developing an academic success and guidance program to support students in achieving their personal, academic, professional dreams; and an agriculture director who is teaching an Agriculture Science class and training students for mission and community service. Already fresh produce is being served in the caf and has been gifted to the community! As you read this inspiring report, please know the important impact your kindness and generosity has on student lives. You make it possible for Shenandoah to be a haven for students to learn from Christian teachers, establish lifelong friendships, and have the opportunity “to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that [they] may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:17-19 NKJV

With deepest gratitude,

Nagy ‘24 SVA History Sermon Response

What I took to heart is how the Holy Spirit inspired Charles Zirkle. He created not only a school, but a community, a family, a church. And I think through the trials and tribulations, the [school] fire, the pandemics, God really used them to build a foundation, to build our character, our faith. And I think it’s amazing we have built such a family here. I think it is really inspiring. Thank you past teachers, staff, pastors, for really encouraging us and giving us the opportunity for over 100 years, and even more hopefully by the grace of God, that we can continue this education.

The Zirkle Gym Project is very near full completion! A dizzying amount of work since the summer of 2020 has resulted in attractive, modern spaces for students and visitors alike. Plumbing inspection? Check. Mechanical and electrical inspection? Check. Life safety inspection? Check. The final inspection was completed and Occupancy Certificate received in time to hold August registration in the new addition and updated gym! Right now, donor funded landscaping, fire pit delivery, gas line hook-up, and final touches are happening to be ready for a ribbon cutting celebration Alumni Weekend. We can’t wait to celebrate with you, SVA Alumni and Friends. What an incredible difference your generous investment has made! A special thank you to the four leadership donors including Alumni families and the Potomac Conference, and to ALL who have given to make this campus transforming project possible.

Partnering For Eternity (PFE) With Katie

When Katie Pacylowski ’24 arrived at my home for her first weekly PFE visit, it felt so right. We talked about our interests and talents, her classes, family and dreams. She loves art and wants to be a graphic designer.

My dream is to put the book of Revelation into a format young and old can understand. Could a board game be a learning tool to understand Revelation? If so, Katie’s computer and design skills could be a real asset.

Each week we played games to harvest ideas. Developing a game would take time, so we made a Phase I: cards to outline the seven churches, seals and trumpets. I collected texts that Katie interpreted through her designs.

A favorite moment was creating the card of “Jesus’ Presence” in the church of Thyatira. The text says, “These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass” (Rev. 2:18, NKJV). Katie’s response was, “Oh, that’s up close and personal!”

Once Phase I was complete, we played with friends and family. The cards are only the beginning. There is much work ahead to complete the game!

Katie’s creativity and energy astounds me. She is a gift God brought to me in the right time and way. Thank you SVA, PFE Foundation, and donors who make this wonderful work program to connect students and senior citizens possible.

Student-Led Mental Wellness Program Launch

As 28 students filed into the classroom, “We saw expressions of curiosity and expectation, but we could also see a protectiveness—and lots of skepticism,” observed music director Daniel Biaggi, an adult advisor for the Sources of Strength (SOS) program.

Students representatives from each class and a variety of friend groups were carefully chosen to train as peer leaders for SOS, a strength-based wellness program that focuses on suicide prevention and also impacts issues such as substance abuse and violence.

About Relationships

Girls’ dean Stephanie Powell, campus nurse Darlene Anderson, and program founder Mark LoMurray led students in games, activities, and times of sharing and learning. SOS trained faculty, staff, and SVA volunteers participated as adult advisors.

“Students began to participate, to become open and vulnerable,” observed Biaggi.

Everyone laughed as they mimicked the mountains, chicken farms, and rivers of the Shenandoah Valley. Then the room filled with the sound of students sharing in small groups. Games, activities and sharing times help students have fun

as I shared my personal rehabilitation journey from COVID pneumonia. I told the young men that to gain strength, every day I must decide to workout even if I don’t feel like it. I choose to do what’s best for my recovery.

Which led the discussion to the importance of self-discipline. That’s when Emmanuel raised his hand and wanted to know how he could learn selfdiscipline. I affirmed him for asking such a mature question. Often we best learn self-discipline when others hold us accountable and keep us focused on our personal, spiritual, and academic goals. As class ended, I asked Emmanuel if I could email his mother and share the class conversation with her. He agreed, so here’s the email exchange with Lillian, Emmanuel’s mother:

Hello Lillian,

while learning messages of hope, help and strength. Research shows these messages are protective factors against the many risks students face.

Students and adults quickly observed the same messages in the Bible, Ellen White’s writings, and in themes already emphasized at SVA. “It isn’t about learning something new; it’s about discovering strengths we already have,” says Olivia Patrick ‘23, peer leader.

Developing and using strengths such as spirituality, physical health, generosity, gratitude, and adult mentors as tools to navigate difficult times is what the program is all about. Students share these tools with peers to create a strength-focused school culture where health-seeking behavior is the norm.

As the day drew to a close, we saw expressions of hope on the students’ faces like, ‘We are willing to help. This could really make a change on our campus!’

--Darlene Anderson, School Nurse

Self-Discipline: A Freshman Life Skill

Teacher Mrs. Short invited me to meet with the young men’s Freshman Life Skills class. The semester theme is “Do Hard Things” and includes discussion of challenging subjects and practical handyman skills. We drifted from the suggested topic

I must tell you when I visited Emmanuel’s Life Skills Class on Tuesday, he asked a very mature question. We were discussing self-discipline, and he wanted to know how he could best learn selfdiscipline when he would be out on his own. His own house, etc.

I told the young men that coming to boarding school was the beginning of learning how to be disciplined, how to follow a routine of success. I’m sure if you ask him about the discussion he will tell. He seems to be doing very well.

Blessings to my friend, Lillian’s reply:

It is true as soon as he came home [for homeleave], after dinner he washed the dishes. I was pleasantly surprised.

Then he sat down and wrote his to do list for tomorrow. He even went to bed without a fight. Oh he is a changed young man. I like the new him. I cannot thank every member of SVA enough.

God bless you all and give you strength to encourage and mold the youth in their life journey. Sincerely, Emanuel’s mom

I am thankful Shenandoah Valley Academy is a place where young people learn about God in such practical ways.

– Pastor Buz Menhardt

You’re invited to celebrate the completion of this wonderful campus transforming gift that you have made possible on Alumni Weekend Sabbath (see pg. 3). THANK YOU, Zirkle Gym Investors one and all!

My dear SVA Alumni and Friends, your prayers and unwavering financial investment sustains this special school and its precious students. Your legacy of love and generosity is having an incredible and miraculous impact for Shenandoah students now and for the future. THANK YOU!!

SVA Music Is On The Road Again!

After a three-year hiatus, SVA Music hit the road for Spring Tour. For many students this was their first music tour ever. “Morale was high. We laughed and enjoyed being together,” said Jonathan Pelote ‘24. “It was nice to have long stretches time on the bus to talk about light-hearted and difficult topics.”

Concertmaster Hania Kantzer ’22 shared, “It was meaningful that what I view as a fun activity [music] is so impactful to other people. The tour affirmed music as a lifelong calling and something SVA is called to do because it benefits others.”

Seth Mace ‘22 Graduation Weekend Testimony

Four years have flown by so quickly. It feels like yesterday I was beginning freshman year, going to my first handshake, eating watermelon, and meeting my class. And now I’m on stage at my graduation.

I’ve made a lot of memories and friends over these last years. Some of my fondest include music tours, the New Mexico Mission Trip, class trip, baseball team, swimming down at the river with the guys, and having fun with all my friends. Many people here at SVA will go on to be my life-long friends. I have also learned many things and have grown spiritually because of the Christian atmosphere, multiple outreach opportunities, and a family of peers and mentors. I had many great mentors while attending here, but the most influential one was PH [Chaplain Tim Harley] who taught me to love the Lord and baptized me. I cannot say thank you enough for how this place has helped me grow as an individual rooted in Christ. Thank you, Shenandoah Valley Academy.

I cannot say thank you enough for how this place has helped me grow as an individual rooted in Christ.

Juridia (Juri) Castellanos ‘25 Parents Weekend Testimony

I have wanted to come to SVA since I was in sixth grade. I don’t know how many times I’ve prayed that if it’s God’s will I would come to SVA, and now I’m here.

So far I have loved almost every part of SVA. I say almost because there are some struggles and challenges. Overall, I love it here. I love my friends, the activities, and the opportunities SVA has for each one of the students. But over all that, I love my roommate Yuri. One of my favorite memories so far in the dorm has been cooking tacos and pupusas with my roommate and inviting friends to come eat some good food. We also have daily worships when our deans tell us stories about when they’ve really seen Jesus work in their lives, or they share devotionals, and they also give us life lessons. I’ve learned that God can work in people’s lives, and I’ve seen it while at SVA. I am grateful to my parents for the sacrifices they have made that makes it possible for me to be here today. I am looking forward to the rest of my years here, to keep seeing God work in my life, and to continue growing in my relationship with Him.

I love my friends, the activities, and the opportunities SVA has for each one of the students.

Ann (Gaby) Goncalves ’23

Parents Weekend Testimony

I’d been in public school my whole life and when we went online because of Covid I really wanted to be somewhere in person. My plan was to stay for one year, but I ended up really loving it here and now I’m graduating.

I see Christ at SVA in the way the students serve in many ministries on and off campus Whether mission trips, church services, music, or Week of Prayer, students are involved and put so much work into the things they love to do to minister to others. We have a variety of students with many different talents and the ways they use them shows me God is here at SVA working through us. As part of the New Mexico Mission Trip last year, what I did there helped me grow closer to God because I saw how our work impacted others. I see how God works through us to spread His love.

SVA has given me the opportunity to learn more about Jesus. I grew up in an Adventist home and went to church my whole life. However, attending public school, what I learned from my parents and church was all my knowledge about God. I’ve learned many new things in religion classes and it’s brought me closer to God because now I know Him in ways that I didn’t before. SVA has been a life-changing experience and I am forever grateful.

I see how God works through us to spread His love.

When I first came to SVA, I was happy to be here and thought I was ready for the challenge to be on my own. But what I thought was going to be a great year was my worst year in high school.

In a few weeks I started failing my classes and my parents found out. They talked to me about applying myself in school. But I didn’t listen to them and got annoyed every time they talked about my grades. My 10th grade year, I decided to do better, so I prayed and asked God to guide me. And that is what He did. He put mentors in my life like Mr. Lowe and Mr. Leeper, and all the deans. They talked to me and helped me understand the importance of doing well in school. They worked with me and encouraged me to get my studies done, and I listened and applied myself to my classes. And my parents didn’t have to tell me to do better any more… because I was doing better on my own. Now I apply myself the best way I can in all my classes. And now I remember God has a plan for me. And I have a plan for myself. And I continue to let God guide me in the right direction.

I prayed and asked God to guide me. And that is what he did.
