The week before Christmas was filled with joyful activity and meaningful reflection at Veritas Preparatory School, as students, families, and staff came together to celebrate the season of Advent.
The week began on Monday morning with a festive Advent breakfast hosted by the Unite Parent Group and supported by numerous parent volunteers. Students gathered as an entire school community, sitting with their classmates and teachers to share a warm meal of fruit, casseroles, and pancakes. The breakfast provided a welcoming start to the week and a tangible expression of fellowship and gratitude.
Following the meal, the school transitioned seamlessly into the first Advent chapel of the week. Each morning thereafter, classes met in the chapel for a 15-minute devotional time focused on the theme “The Music and Art of Advent.” During these chapels, students were introduced to a significant work of art related to the Advent story and invited to reflect on how it pointed to the hope and meaning of Christ's birth.
Each chapel concluded with the introduction of a new Christmas carol, allowing students to learn and sing a different song each day. These daily moments of worship helped create a rhythm of reflection and celebration throughout the week.
The festivities culminated on the final day before Christmas break, when parents joined students and faculty in the chapel for a schoolwide carol sing. Together, the community sang all of the carols learned throughout the week, joyfully marking the beginning of the Christmas holiday and sending students into the break with hearts and voices lifted in celebration.
