Multicultural day is a much anticipated event here at RVA. The theme this year was “GO“. After a very good Spiritual Emphasis Week in which the students were challenged about taking the Gospel to all peoples we thought it would be fitting to make the theme a simple reminder that we are called to go.

Meet the new tennis coach
Well, this may sound interesting but really it is me. I guess I am thinking that I would expand my repertoire of sports coached to include tennis. The only problem is that besides teaching the basic skills in P.E. I have to admit that there is probably a lot more to the sport that IContinue reading “Meet the new tennis coach”
First day of school and another milestone
Our children have advanced to the next grade in school – Yahoo! The surreal part is that Cassidy is off to junior high, Titus is grade four, and Ella is in kindergarten. Wow, all three children are in school! Now we know that we are not the first parents to experience this but it isContinue reading “First day of school and another milestone”
Alumni Weekend
When it comes to RVA there are two things for certain. Third term is rainy and alumni weekend marks the end of the school year. This year was the “alumni year” for the class of 2010. Many of those students make their way here to reunite with classmates and reminisce about the days they wereContinue reading “Alumni Weekend”

Senior re-entry weekend
There is a unique aspect of working here at RVA. We experience a high number of transitions and changes in our environments that it is easy to forget just how these things affect us. Transition never occurs in a vacuum. It involves people at every turn and junction of our lives. Transitioning well means learning howContinue reading “Senior re-entry weekend”
Lightning strikes twice?
There is probably never a day that goes by that is not full of some sort of crazy event. Just the other day it was an intense lightning storm that had a bolt of lightning strike right in the middle of our campus. Thankfully no one was hurt but it certainly left people scurrying forContinue reading “Lightning strikes twice?”
Water plus a hot sunny day equals…
Titchie Water Field Day! This tradition dates back many years as part of titchie weekend and gives the young kids a chance, or excuse, to douse each other with water. There are many stations of water related activities – water pants, dodge sponge, musical buckets, splish – splish – splash (duck, duck, goose), balloon/sponge launcher, dunkingContinue reading “Water plus a hot sunny day equals…”
