All we can say is, “Wow!” Climbing at the Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center was a perfect challenge as we stretch toward our fitness goals this quarter. A sticky gecko thank you to our strong and faithful belayers!
FOCUS
What We’ve Been Up To
Perseverance Interviews
To find out more about how different people have succeeded in reaching big goals in their lives, we interviewed people we admire. We asked questions about how they persisted, who helped them along the way, and what it feels like to reach a major goal. Here are the first four timelines of perseverance and determination. We learned a lot, and we hope you get fantastic ideas from these gritty folks as well.

See You at the Pole
See You at the Pole is a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. We look forward to it every year.
FOCUS on Teambuilding
FOCUS: May Your Name Be Lifted High!
Our first two days were power-packed as we work to build our learning community.
Take a peek!
Welcome Back!
Here is our rock climbing dramatization of FOCUS! We are focused on taking care of each other, focused on working hard to get smart, focused on being safe (even when we’re doing something weird), and focused on being kind. We are focused on loving the Lord our God with everything that is within us. Welcome to the Great Adventure, folks!
FOCUS!
MVCS’s theme for the new school year is FOCUS, and our class is going with a rock climber analogy as we discuss and live it out (thanks to my Vertical Dreams niece Gloriana’s inspiration). Huzzah to my sister for this suggestion for our little garden (side note–replanting after the squirrel took out all the sunflowers by jumping on them). The frog belaying the gecko just cracks me up!
