| MAKE A LINE IN 2009 |
The National Honor Society will again be coordinating a school wide food drive in connection with Thanksgiving. All MVCS students pre-12 are encouraged to participate in collecting as many canned goods as possible to help fill the Love INC. food bank. Our goal this year is to collect enough cans to connect the two school offices.

Your contributions are tax deductible and will all be used to advance the mission of providing a Christ-centered education for students.

| HISTORY |
The doors of MVCS grade one through eight opened for the first time in September of 1951. Miss Clara Bolkema was the principal/teacher of upper grades and Mrs. Helen Schoolland was teacher for the lower elementary grades. Fifty-five students were enrolled. A third classroom was built in 1960 but was soon expanded to four. The Kindergarten was added in 1977 and the High School in 1983. Portable classrooms were added as needed for Middle School and High School use. A new 42,000 square foot high school facility opened its doors to students and our school community in September 2008.
