Veritas Preparatory School

October was a month full of field trips and special activities for Veritas Preparatory School.

Several classes, including Mrs. Cota’s first and Mrs. Kelsey’s second grades, visited Lattin Farms. Students explored the corn maze, took hayrides, fed the animals, and picked pumpkins.

The third through sixth-grade classes celebrated the local mining industry by holding Miner’s Day. After several weeks of studying mining in class, students dressed in their best miner’s attire and participated in games and activities related to mining to celebrate the end of the unit.

The seventh and eighth-grade students were fortunate to receive a tour of NAS Fallon. They visited the control tower’s observation deck, attended a flight briefing, walked the flight line, donned night vision goggles, and witnessed the F-18 flown in “Top Gun: Maverick” returning from training exercises.

To close out the month, the entire school celebrated Spirit Day with a presentation from Colby and Ashley Frey of Frey Ranch Distillery. Students were treated to homemade ice cream made fresh on-site that day.

Veritas wishes to express its sincere thanks to the many volunteers who donated their time, energy, and experience to make these many activities possible for the students.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
