As the Thanksgiving holiday drew near, Veritas Preparatory School was buzzing with energy, smiles, and hands-on learning. In classrooms across campus, students wrapped up the quarter with creative projects, memorable experiences, and moments of fellowship that highlighted the heart of the school’s mission. From tractor rides to science experiments, the week offered a joyful reminder that learning at Veritas goes far beyond textbooks.
The youngest students on campus - the K4 class - were met with wide-eyed excitement when Colby Frey of Frey Ranch arrived in the school parking lot driving a full-sized tractor. Frey, a longtime supporter of Veritas, invited the K4 students to climb aboard for special tractor rides, giving them a firsthand glimpse into the world of agriculture. For many students, it was their very first time sitting in a real tractor.
Later in the week, the K4 classroom received another group of special visitors - their 7th and 8th-grade learning buddies. The older students spent time reading picture books aloud, turning the classroom into a cozy blend of giggles, imagination, and connection. For the K4 students, the visit brought all the warmth of a Thanksgiving story time.
The 5th- and 6th-grade class was a flurry of colorful creativity as students constructed edible eukaryotic cells entirely out of candy. Using Twizzlers, gummy Nerds, Smarties, and more, students crafted models complete with nuclei, mitochondria, and other essential organelles.
The week’s activities offered a joyful sendoff into the Thanksgiving break, blending academic excellence with creativity, community, and celebration.
As families prepared for the holiday, students left campus with full hearts, sticky fingers, new memories, and a renewed sense of excitement for the weeks ahead.
