On Dec. 3, Veritas Preparatory School held its second Jesus Caching Advent Road Rally. Families participating in the event visited multiple locations throughout the evening and completed a variety of Advent-themed puzzles and challenges.
At one station, families used a map of Oats Park to locate three caches containing “gold, frankincense, and myrrh” and then delivered the gifts to “Mary” before progressing to the next station. Families also helped the shepherds locate their sheep at the Fallon Theatre, followed the star in the West at Frey Ranch, and completed an Advent word puzzle at the Wolf Center. Those who emerged victorious from all stations were rewarded with cookies and hot cocoa back at Veritas.
Students have also been actively preparing for a number of upcoming service projects to give back to the community this Christmas season. The third- through eighth-grade classes are collecting mittens and mugs to support the Out of Egypt Food Pantry. Third-grader Dixie Jensen is excited about the opportunity to give back to the community. “This is my first year helping at the food pantry, and I’m very excited to help out,” says Jensen.
The younger classes will be visiting the Homestead to sing Christmas carols for the residents. The students are excited to share the love of Jesus with the town during this time of year.
