Happy Mother’s Day to every mother, grandmother, and/or maternal figure in our VCP community! The impact of your love, support, guidance, and care cannot be overstated or measured. We all would not be here without the mothers and maternal figures in our lives. On this special day, we salute you!

Remember that even though seniors are off campus, their parking spaces should remain available for them. Please continue to park only in your assigned space or in the Church parking lot. Seniors will be returning for AP testing and need access to their designated spots. Please note that you risk being towed if you do not park in your assigned space.
In preparation for Senior Sunset on Friday 5/15, please have your car out of the VCP/Voyager parking lot by 3 pm. There will be a special presentation for our seniors and the parking lot must be empty. Your car will be towed if you are parked in the lot after 3 pm.

CELEBRATIONS & COMMUNITY CONNECTION
May brings opportunities for our Valor community to learn, celebrate, and reflect together. This month, we recognize Lupus Awareness Month, Jewish American Heritage Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Mental Health Awareness Month. Each observance invites us to honor the histories, experiences, and identities that shape our community.
Upcoming Religious & National Observances
- May 10 | Mother’s Day/Women in Our Lives: Children of all ages show appreciation for their mothers and mother figures
- May 15 | Ascension Day (Western Christian): Also known as Holy Thursday, celebrated 40 days after Easter, it commemorates the ascension of Jesus into Heaven
Civic Engagement
- While national politics often receives the most attention, local elections shape systems our families interact with daily, including schools, neighborhoods, public services, and community resources. For Valor, civic engagement reflects our belief that every family brings wisdom and lived experience that should be represented in decisions impacting our community. Davidson County voters showed up for the May 5 primaries. Missed voting on May 5? No worries! The next election is Thursday, August 6, and early voting begins July 17. Be sure to check your voter registration status here and make a plan to participate.
