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.
