Fine Arts: PPS at DVCS is an annual event where each student in grades 1-12 memorizes a selection of classic poetry or prose for recitation. The kindergarten class memorizes a class poem.

The students memorize these selections over the course of several weeks. They are encouraged to work not only on memory, but also on skills such as eye contact with the audience, voice projection, diction, and expression. The goal is to have each student prepared to present their selection for an audience. From this experience, the students learn beautiful works of prose and poetry and grow in the experience and skill of speaking before a friendly audience. You are invited and encouraged to attend!

There are changes to the lunch menu! You may now order through your FACTS Family Portal.

Billing will be through FACTS at the end of each month.

**Please note: If your child is absent on a day he or she has lunch, you must send an email to absent@dvclassical.org. If we are aware of the absence, we will make all attempts to sell the item(s) purchased. If you do not make the office aware of the absence, you will be charged for the item(s) ordered if we are unable to sell the food.

You may also request that the food be sent home or given to a sibling. Thank you!

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 1:3-6 ESV

DVCS Moms and Grandmoms,

Join us for Moms in Prayer!

We meet in the DVCS Library on ER Wednesdays from 8:05 to 8:30 a.m.

The art department is looking for the following donations for upcoming projects: t-shirts and yarn.

If you have any items to donate, please drop them off at the school office. Thanks for your help!

Our students memorize Bible verses throughout the school year. We are taught in Scripture to hide God’s Word in our hearts (Ps. 119:11). God also promises that His Word will not return empty but will accomplish what He purposes and will succeed in the thing for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). Memorizing Scripture is one of the most important parts of our students’ education!

Verse for February 17, 2026
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
