2023-24 Changes to the BEACON


FVL's longest-running publication, the BEACON, has been sharing news with the Federation since it was first printed in 1950. 

1956 and 2006 covers of the FVL BEACON

Format, layout, and distribution methods have changed through the years, but the purpose of keeping the FVL family up to date with school news has remained consistent. Due to the rising popularity of our biannual alumni publication, the Legacy Magazine, and a desire to reduce cross-over information, we are combining the September and December BEACON into one that is released in fall. Likewise, we are combining the March and May BEACON into one spring issue.


The BEACON will now be direct-mailed to print subscribers, with a reduced number sent to Federation congregations. Similarly, a number of Legacy Magazines will now go to Federation congregations for display/distribution, while still being direct-mailed to subscribers. Go to fvlhs.org/publications for information and to subscribe.

Enjoy a glimpse of a few BEACON covers from the past!
