There is more than one way to give to Valley Christian Schools, and donating your time and expertise is a great way to give back! Whether through planning and organizing events, helping in your child’s classroom, or acting as an ambassador of the school in your circle of influence, there are a multitude of ways to carry out the responsibility of giving throughout the year.

We are also constantly on the lookout for ways to include our alumni. Volunteering at events is a great way to stay involved with what’s going on at VCS and give back to the community that helped to shape you.

Because of our outstanding volunteers, VCS is able to provide students with the high-quality, educational experience our community has come to expect. Each year, hundreds of parents, alumni, faculty, and staff share their time with VCS by volunteering, and we are so grateful for their contributions. On the following pages, we seek to acknowledge the important men and women who gave their time to support VCS during the 20162017 school year.

To find out how to get involved or volunteer for any of our community or fundraising events, contact Shannon McClellan (smcclellan@vcs.net) or Jessica Carter at (jcarter@vcs.net).
