As Thanksgiving approaches, the Veritas Preparatory School community is reflecting with gratitude on a season filled with blessings, growth, and God’s continued faithfulness. From new families and teachers to facility improvements and community support, there is much to be thankful for at Veritas this year.
Over the summer, Veritas said goodbye to several beloved military families who received new assignments - but the fall semester brought an abundance of new faces. The school community has welcomed many new families, bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm to classrooms and events.
“We miss our friends who moved away, like J.J., but we enjoy making new friends too!” said 4th grader Kolby Cota.
The school’s increased enrollment has not only filled classrooms with eager learners but also opened the door to exciting opportunities for growth. Veritas was able to hire a new teacher and expand its curriculum to include music classes for K4 through 2nd grade, enriching the school’s classical education with joyful songs and creativity.
“I like the Five Fat Turkeys song!” said 1st grader Mila Martinez. “I like the game we play with that song.”
Teachers and staff are also thankful for expanded preparatory and administrative time, giving them greater opportunity to plan lessons, collaborate, and support students more effectively.
“Our staff is incredibly dedicated,” said Headmaster Jill Rosario. “These changes allow them the space and time to do what they do best - teach with excellence and care.”
Veritas has also made significant strides in improving its facilities. This fall saw the installation of a new perimeter fence, new security cameras and monitors, and playground additions, creating a safer and more inviting environment for students to learn and play.
Beyond these upgrades, the school is grateful for its strong financial position, which has made possible the addition of a new building to the campus. This expansion will provide more classroom space and further accommodate the school’s growing student body.
Perhaps most meaningful of all is the continued support of local churches and pastors, who remain strong partners in Veritas’ mission to provide Christ-centered, classical education. “We are blessed to have a community of faith that believes in what we’re doing,” Rosario said. “Their encouragement and prayers sustain us.”
As a 5th grader, Clara put it, “I’m thankful that we get to learn about God every day and that so many people help make our school awesome.”
From classrooms filled with new songs to playgrounds filled with laughter, Veritas has much to celebrate this Thanksgiving. The year’s growth and blessings stand as a reminder that God continues to provide abundantly for the school’s mission, its teachers, and its students.
