Set
Apart
2005-2006 Valley Christian
High School ASB Theme
For those of you who have not yet heard, the theme for the 2005-2006
school year at Valley Christian is “Set Apart.” This theme was selected
by your ASB because it reflects that for which your elected officials
felt the school should be striving. Our theme verse, Leviticus 20:26
states, “You are to be holy to Me because I, the Lord, am holy, and
I have set you apart from the nations to be Mine.”
The question now becomes, what does this really mean? For the answer,
we must look at what it really means for us to be set apart and why
we should desire to be set apart. To be truly set apart from the world,
we must strive to be like Christ. One of the main points of emphasis
for this year’s theme is based largely off last year’s theme. Last
year, the ASB asked the student body to take off their fake masks
and “Get Real.” But after we have gotten real with ourselves, it is
very important to make sure that we set ourselves apart and make decisions
to show the love of Christ through our actions. If this years theme
is truly being lived out, when people look at our student body they
should notice a difference in us. We should be known as different
because we are God’s children and not children of this world.
The question of why we should desire to be set apart is answered later
in the book when, in Leviticus 27:28, it says, “Everything set apart
is especially holy to the Lord.” This basically sums up the reason
that we should strive to be set apart. The reason is that God has
called us as His children to be holy and to seek Him in all that we
do.
Sincerely,
Your ASB President
Jeremy Georges. |

Shakespeare, Where Art
Thou?
For some people, spending eight hours on a bus seems like some new
type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms

of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.
