CHRISMON ORNAMENTS PROJECT

This year Veritas Christian Academy is beginning a new and beautiful tradition.  We created our first ever Chrismon Trees.  Perhaps you have had an opportunity to see one or more of the three Chrismon Trees in the halls.  They are decorated with beautiful ornaments made by Grammar and Logic School art students. 

READ MORE HERE

This Wednesday, students will bring home their special Chrismon ornament, carefully wrapped to share with your family.  Please be on the lookout for them as most of them are delicate and fragile. We know you will treasure these beautiful heirloom ornaments for years to come and we already greatly anticipate the 2023 Chrismon Collection! Merry Christmas!

ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN

Enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is now open for current families. Please contact Buffey Smith with any questions.

PTF LOVE OFFERING

Last chance to give to the Annual Christmas Love Offering!

The Annual Christmas Love Offering program was created to help our busy Veritas families by simplifying holiday school gift shopping while blessing each Veritas staff member with a unified gift of appreciation and love. Through the years, this has become a cherished tradition.

Participation is completely optional. As you choose to participate this year, for your convenience we have an online giving option.

You may also write a check or send cash in an envelope labeled “Love Offering”. Please make checks payable to VCA PTF with “Love Offering” in the memo line.

All donations should be turned in to the office or online no later than 4:00 p.m. today!

Please also consider lifting up all our VCA teachers and staff in prayer this season, taking a few names each day will allow you to cover the whole list with love.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact Nichole Bishop (nbishop.gm@gmail.com).

We wish you a blessed Holiday Season!

- The PTF Leadership Team

CONGRATULATIONS!

Recently, Veritas senior Mary Garcia Coe was recognized by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) with a Good Citizens Award.  Students from area high schools submitted applications and a timed written essay.  Mary Garcia was in the top three among all entrants.  She was recognized for her “qualities of good character—dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism.”  VCA is proud of this honor to our student and our school. On December 8, she shared her essay with members of the Chapter.
