We’re excited to announce the kickoff of our 2025 Winner’s Choice Raffle!

Why are we hosting the raffle? Over the past 5 years, we have seen significant growth in our school enrollment, with PreK-8 enrollment increasing from 217 to 249, BAC increasing from 5 to 25, and Childcare increasing from 4 to 41!  This growth is AMAZING, but it means we must make important infrastructure improvements to keep up with the needs of our expanding student body. ALL raffle proceeds will directly support funding two major projects at ABVM:

·       HVAC Renovation (projected cost: $675k) – By replacing the boiler & adding a complete HVAC system, we will create a safer, more comfortable, energy-efficient learning environment

·       Ministry Center Renovation (projected cost: 1.3 million) – This will create a dedicated Childcare Center, freeing up much-needed classroom space to better serve our students
