VERITAS PREPARATORY SCHOOL Classical and Christian Narnia Day Brings C.S. Lewis’s Story to Life

VERITAS PREPARATORY SCHOOL Classical and Christian Narnia Day Brings C.S. Lewis’s Story to Life
Narnia Day. Bristol Brodersen and Mr. Ernst.

This past week, students, teachers, and parents at Veritas Preparatory School stepped through the wardrobe into Narnia to celebrate Narnia Day, an event honoring C.S. Lewis's beloved works.

Students across all grades participated by reading "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," with parents joining in for discussions on its timeless themes. Grades 3-8 explored additional books from The Chronicles of Narnia.

C.S. Lewis, a renowned Christian author, weaves moral lessons into his storytelling, emphasizing virtues like loyalty, truth, and humility—values central to a classical Christian education. Through Narnia, students experience thrilling tales of bravery and sacrifice, reflecting on how these values apply to their lives.

The day was filled with activities inspired by Narnia's magic. Classrooms became museum showrooms, bringing scenes from the book to life. Whether stepping into the wardrobe or standing firm like Aslan, students embraced the joy of reading and virtuous storytelling.

At Veritas, we cultivate a love for literature that nourishes mind and soul. Narnia Day was more than an event—it was a journey reminding us of great stories' power to shape character, inspire imagination, and reveal truth.

"What really was delicious was the Turkish delight.  Every flavor was amazing since it was a square gummy and tasted like fruit." -Brantley Wiberg.

"The whole tour was my favorite because we went into the wardrobe, saw the beavers, made paper swords, and got to eat at a Narnian restaurant." -Aaron Ernst.

"One of my favorite parts of Narnia Day was walking through the magical wardrobe into Narnia."  -Mercedes Martinez.

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
