Dear VCS Families,

I wanted to reach out and let you know about our upcoming annual benefit auction, The Big Event. The theme this year is a Masquerade Ball – “Unmasking the value of Christian Education”. This is our school’s largest fund raising event of the year. We do it up BIG at the Oshkosh Convention Center. This year our auction is on March 28th. Ticket prices are $75 each or two for $100. We will have a host of items to bid on during the silent auction. As well as premium and live auction items. We would love your help:

  • Would you make plans to attend? 
  • Do you have an item you could donate?
  • Do you know someone who has something unique to donate?

A few items of interest still on our wish list include:

  • Tickets to Augusta National to watch The Masters golf tournament
  • A condo or hotel stay in Santa Barbara, CA to go with a fishing trip we have planned. 
  • We could use some donated air miles to go with an African Safari package.

More information about table and event sponsorship, menu choices, advertising in our program and more is available by downloading the event brochure here, or by contacting Carey Holtz.

It is going to be a great night. We have entertainment for all of our guests. There will be a musical performance from the Broadway play Phantom of the Opera sung by VCS students, parents, and faculty.

Please take note of the bulletin board just inside the school’s front doors with a listing of businesses we wish to contact for donations. Thanks so much for all of your help in making this the best benefit auction our school has ever done.

Just 36 days until the event. NOW is the time for ACTION, please contact Carey Holtz for tickets or to donate an item. Carey may be reached at choltz@vcoshkosh.com or 920.231.9704 x20.

In His Service,

Brad Dunn

The party will be held in the gymnasium. Please, come and join us for this celebration!

Pastor Appreciation Day

Wednesday, February 25 from 9:00 – 9:45 am. We would like to encourage all of our students to invite their pastors to attend this event held in honor of our local pastors. Please take a minute to invite them to join us. Elementary students will be coming home with invitations in their Friday Folders. We would like them to RSVP by Monday, February 23rd. They may contact Mrs. Busch in the front office @ 231-9704 x. 4 or lbusch@vcoshkosh.com to RSVP. We appreciate our pastors so much and we look forward to blessing them.

Enrollment is OPEN

It is time to secure your seat for the 2015-16 school year. Please take a few moments and fill out the online re-enrollment information. A $50 discount on the registration fee is available through the month of February. New families now have the same opportunity to claim available seats in each grade, so don’t delay. Please read the re-enrollment instructional letter here.

In addition to the online portion, there are two forms for you to sign and return. These forms (including the tuition and fees schedule) are available for download here as well as on Sycamore at the end of the online process. We are so thankful for what God is doing in and through our school.
