VERITAS GALA
PRESENTING SPONSOR

Thank you to Grant Laughter Jewelry for sponsoring the 2022 Veritas Gala. We are truly grateful for your support of our school's most important fundraiser. Grant is a member of the Veritas Community -- his son, Aldrick, is a VCA Warrior in Mrs. McMahan's Class!

We encourage you to visit Grant Laughter Jewelry and their website to learn more about their business, but wanted to share these words from Grant:

"My heart lies in searching the world for the unique one-of-a-kind gemstones and diamonds, the special type of pieces that create a family legacy that your children always want to wear. Grant Laughter Jewelry endeavors, through the teachings of Christ, to operate with transparency in our procedures, honesty in our pricing, fairness in our interactions, and clarity in our communication. Our life’s work is to help anyone who comes into our store to create or find the perfect physical representation of their emotions. Designing experiences into fine jewelry. My son Aldrick now comes to the store and searches for cubic zirconias much the same way I did at his age. We are three generations strong for Laughters in Asheville for fine jewelry, and we hope to see you, your children, and grandchildren to come!"
GRAMMAR SCHOOL ART SPOTLIGHT

First grade learned about Vincent Van Gogh's love of painting nature in class. Inspired by his Ave of Poplars in Autumn, they used mixed media to create their own beautiful autumn avenues of trees with cozy cabins at the end of the trail. Aren't they beautiful?!

FROM THE NURSE'S CORNER

Dear Veritas Families,

Please note that we have added a quarantine option, ‘test-to-stay’ to our guidelines (option #3). This is in hopes to eliminate excessive quarantine time for both students and faculty. Time has afforded us the opportunity to learn that a majority of students and faculty that are quarantined do not progress to infection. This option will help us to uphold the same goal we have had since the beginning of the pandemic- to keep kids in-person with live learning as much as possible. 

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these guidelines and thank you for your continued support.
