Dear MVC Families,
We made the decision to cancel classes and all school activities for both Thursday and Friday of this week due to the prediction of near-record flooding levels on the Skagit River. We will make a determination this weekend on whether we can safely hold classes on Monday. You will be notified.
Classes will be dismissed as usual today.
The 7 - 12 Christmas Concert is cancelled for this Thursday, and we are reviewing our options for rescheduling. The Elementary Christmas Concerts remain scheduled for next week, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Please determine the safety needs for your own situation.
Please pray for the safety and health of all members of our communities during this challenging time.
Don Kok

Re-Enrollment for Current Students Open on Jan 5 for 2026-2027
While Mr. Thayer was away at the Dordt School Leadership Symposium and Teacher Recruitment Fair last week, some of the MVC staff decided his office needed more holiday spirit… so they wrapped literally everything.
He returned this morning to a full-on Winter Wonderland Gift Shop.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Thayer — hope you love your newly “renovated” workspace! 🎁
The 3rd graders visited the fairgrounds for the Skagit Farm Circle Tour, where they met local Skagit farmers and learned how farming in Skagit County and Washington State helps feed people in our state, our country, and even around the world.
As we close out 2025, we invite you to join Mount Vernon Christian School in our End of Year Giving campaign.
Your partnership helps us continue providing Christ-centered education and meaningful opportunities for our students.
We’re praying to bridge a $400,000 gap this December, and every gift—large or small—makes a meaningful impact.

Our 5th graders had a blast showing off their best twinning looks—from matching hoodies to full-on costumes! We love the creativity, school spirit, and all the smiles.
Yesterday, our MVC Buddies spent the morning together building connections across grade levels through classroom activities and shared time. That same spirit of community carried into our Thanksgiving Food Drive, where our students and families donated approximately 1,400 pounds of food for the Skagit Valley Neighbors in Need Food Bank.
We’re so grateful for the kindness, generosity, and servant hearts of our MVC community. Well done, MVC!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
We are so grateful for our amazing students, staff, families, and the strong community that surrounds our school. May your day be filled with joy, gratitude, and time spent with the people you love.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving
