Time to make your commitment for next year!

YES! Even though we just passed the half way mark for this school year, it is time again to re-enroll your child for the 2018-2019 school year. We are so glad that you chose us and that you share your children with us day in and day out.

Green re-enrollment folders went home with your children on February 1st. If you did not receive one, let us know and we will make sure you get a replacement. Each year we require that you complete the returning student application and questionnaire. Return the completed forms to the office along with your $200 student placement deposit. These 3 items in Diane's capable hands hold a spot for your child for the 2018-2019 school year.

We are seeing the fruits of our online marketing efforts, and are receiving a record number of calls and scheduling parent tours each week. On February 15th, we will begin to fill any spots not spoken for with our community wait list. Don't hesitate to show us your intentions for next year.

We are blessed beyond measure to have each of you as a part of our greater SVMS family!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED ITEMS, LOANED TABLES, HELPED ORGANIZE, PRICE ITEMS AND RUN THE SALE!

We had a very successful sale, raising $791.00!

We donated all of the left over clothing to SVCM, who support families in the valley that are in need. We donated left over winter coats and closed toe shoes to a homeless shelter in Asheville, and all left over housewares went to the Kiwanis thrift shop in Black Mountain.

A BIG thank you to these folks who volunteered on the day of the sale.
