At Veritas Preparatory School, students are taught the importance of telling the story of Jesus through both spoken and written words. This article, written by our third and fourth-graders, reflects on a special school event.
Then something exciting happened! An angel came into our classroom and told us to follow her. We ran outside, singing as we went, and followed the angel to see the Messiah. When we found the stable, we found Jesus with eighth graders acting as Mary and Joseph. After we saw Jesus, we went and told everyone we could. All the kids at the school saw the Savior.
This was an important event for us because we learned what it might have been like to be shepherds that night. Just like the shepherds in the Bible, we got to see Jesus and then tell everyone about Him. Because of the shepherds, everyone knew about the Messiah, and we were excited to celebrate Jesus together.
This special event could not have happened without the help of many parents. Thank you to everyone who brought food, animals, helped with costumes, or built the stable. It was a night we will always remember.
