"OUR ANCHOR, OUR HOPE"

"Like a brilliant gem, the multi-faceted nature of classical Christian education (CCE) snags the eye. You can’t look away. Once you’ve watched your children experience it for any length of time, your heart and mind are hooked. Among its hallmarks, a dedication to virtue stands out."

We wanted to share this brief blog post on The Classical Difference website. Enjoy reading!
AUCTION ITEMS NEEDED!
Veritas Gala

Dear Veritas Community,

The Gala Committee could use your help!

We are asking for you to think about your personal relationships within the community that may be willing to donate an auction item or experience to our Gala! (Maybe even your own business could be interested!)

Think about what things you would love to bid on!

Some ideas: your nail salon, hair salon, lawn company, cleaning company, interior designer, dentist, financial advisor, optometrist, dermatologist, jeweler, house painter, your favorite clothing store, your grocery store, favorite restaurant.... etc!

Typically our categories are Home and Garden, Food & Beverage, Travel, Sports, and Experiences/Family Events.

All it takes is an ask! Here is an auction item form you can pass along. Forms can be turned into the front office.

Thank you for doing your part to help make this event a great one!

***Contact cpritz@veritasnc.org or mjenkins@veritasnc.org with questions.
THANK YOU TO OUR MOST RECENT GALA SPONSOR!

WARRIOR ATHLETIC NEWS

The Varsity Boys Basketball team split a pair of matchups last week. On Tuesday, the Warriors defeated The Master’s Academy 60-44. Friday, Veritas lost a tight contest to Victory Christian Academy 75-67.

Our Varsity Girls Team won both of their contests last week! The girls defeated TMA 48-39, and then defeated Victory Christian 55-39. Great job ladies!

The Middle School Boys had two contests as well. Our boys were beaten by TMA 28-13 but then bounced back to defeat Victory Christian 39-23.

It's been a great season for the VCA Warriors!
FROM THE NURSE'S CORNER

As winter sickness is here, thank you for the good communication along with keeping symptomatic children home. Covid testing (rapid or PCR) can be helpful to define your child’s symptoms but regardless of the results, please follow our health guidelines before your student returns. 

As Covid cases are reported, these will be added to the Covid-19 Reported Case link in live time. Classroom and grade letters announcing Covid will no longer be emailed. If anytime you have questions about your student’s class or the school as a whole, please contact me.  

We continue to ask for prayers for our school’s health. God has been faithful- we can trust that He will continue to guide and direct our steps with an abundance of grace and compassion!
