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.
