Students Learning Computer Science at Vista Ridge Academy

Under the direction of Marit Guild, Grades 3-8 Technology classes are using a popular website called Code.org which is a non-profit aimed at providing computer science education. It contains video tutorials by some of the world’s top programmers and developers and gives the students fun interactive ways to learn and practice writing code.

They have worked through a tutorial that is an introduction to JavaScript sponsored by Khan Academy and have begun practicing writing code through additional tutorials provided on the website. They use the context of popular computer games to give the students practice at writing code.

Fall Festival & Silent Auction 2016

Vista Ridge Academy held its annual Fall Festival and Silent Auction, a fundraiser for Home and School, on Saturday, Nov. 12 with almost 400 guests in attendance.

Brandon Hart is a member at Twin Peaks Adventist Church. He said his kids had a blast at the festival. “This is a great safe place to hang out with friends and socialize,” said Hart.

Kids painted pumpkins, played in a bounce house, grabbed cash in the cash cube, threw pies at pastors and teachers and ate yummy food.

Damaris Lopez-Morquecho, a fourth grader at Vista Ridge Academy, liked the Boxing Arena and Mrs. Hodgson’s, veggie burgers best. “The Fall Festival is exciting, fun and you can learn more about God,” said Lopez-Morquecho.

This year, the activity and food booths raised $3,600, and the school raised $1,400 dollars from the Silent Auction. Items for bid included deals on local goods and services like gift cards to local restaurants, a full-service oil change, a family photo session and a hot air balloon ride. The proceeds from the auction will go to the school’s playground.
