The Best Kids in the World!

Eleven years ago (has it really been that long?) when we first came to RVA as new staff, we attended new staff orientation, where the dean of students led the new dorm parents' workshop. He mentioned, "We get to work with the best kids in the world here at RVA!"

And I can honestly say that's been true for us! Now, our students are not perfect. In fact, since Jeff is dean of students (and thus, handles discipline) he can attest to that. But they are good kids. And fun kids. And awesome kids!

We are so blessed to get to work with these students day in and day out. Teaching, mentoring, coaching, and just hanging out with the kids....

And this time of year, as they all scatter around the world after graduation (which is one month away for us) they are all headed to amazing places - many to the USA, but some to Europe, South Africa, Korea and other countries. Not only that, we have students being accepted to universities like Yale, Princeton and Harvard. Our little school on the edge of the great Rift Valley is starting to make a name for itself and universities are realizing what we have known all along.....that these are some of the best kids in the world!

So proud of our kids!
