Diversity Week
Posted March 13, 2013
During the week of February 25 –March 1, Valley Christian Junior High celebrated Diversity, as we focused on the various languages and forms of verbal and non-communication used throughout the world. We also focused on American individuals who led, sometimes by accident and other times through their various valiant acts and ideals, to enhance our great nation. The week began as the History classes focused on the various forms of non-verbal communication that are used throughout the world. Students discussed how our body language speaks volumes and how it and various gestures can be interpreted differently in different cultures. Students were able to share experiences they have had during their travels overseas. The next day, students discussed various Heroes who, as ordinary people, performed extraordinary service for all Americans. They discussed the service, accomplishments, and dedication of Chief America Horse, Congressman Daniel Inouye, Caesar Chavez, and Rosa Parks. The week was highlighted during the Wednesday Chapel. Ms. Kari White led the reading of Ephesians 2:14-19 with the assistance of several VCJH students who read a verse in their native languages. Joining Ms. White in the reading of Ephesians was Mustafa Naguib (Arabic), Rhea Basarkar (Hindi), Klemen Kotar (Slovenian), Ahzin Nam (Korean), Rachel Davis (French), Dante Bruno (Italian), and Nicholas Starink (Dutch). It was an exciting week led by the Social Science department of Ms. White, Mr. Chuck Heath, Mr. Dwain Fairweather and Mr. Steve Parmenter leading the charge of bringing Diversity awareness and understanding to the students of VCJH.

High School Physical Education Department Gets Into High Gear
Posted March 5, 2013
The Valley Christian Physical Education classes ended the first semester with a bang! Students worked together in groups to design workout routines for their final projects. To make the workout routines fun and motivating, students choreographed music with their warm up, cardiovascular component and cool down. These five minute workout routines were a great way to carry the importance of health and wellness into the new year. Students used a variety of equipment, including dumbbells, jump ropes, resistance bands, medicine balls, and agility ladders, to get their peer's heart rates up and work up a healthy sweat. Students will continue to use these workouts throughout the rest of the school year in preparation for the state fitnessgram test.
