National Volunteer Appreciation Week (April 19–25) is an opportunity to recognize the many parents, grandparents, and volunteers who make Veritas Preparatory School a great school to attend. These are people who routinely give of their time, talents, money, and energy to support the school community in a wide variety of ways.
From classroom helpers to field trip chaperones, recess monitors to custodial crews, volunteers work tirelessly to enrich the lives of students and staff and keep the school running.
“Our volunteers assist in so many important ways,” said Jill Rosario. “This year, we’ve had parents lead P.E. classes, art classes, reading groups, and more. They show true dedication to their children’s educational experience, and it is inspiring.”
Beyond supporting daily operations, volunteers play a key role in building the strong sense of community that defines the Veritas experience. The Unite parent group sponsors frequent events for the school, including Purple-Up for Military Children Day, Hot Cocoa and Scarves Day, and numerous Spirit Days in which students receive special gifts.
“They always go the extra mile to decorate and make the campus feel festive,” said David Ernst. “Volunteers allow the teachers to focus on teaching while still creating meaningful experiences and memories for the students outside of the classroom as well.”
Additionally, volunteering provides a meaningful opportunity to embody Galatians 6:10, “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people.” Scripture calls us to serve one another.
From all of us at Veritas Preparatory School—thank you, volunteers. You truly are the heart of the school.
