This past Friday, students and families spent a little extra time at pickup at Veritas Preparatory School thanks to the school’s second annual Pie-in-the-Face fundraiser and bake sale. Seventh- and eighth-grade students sacrificed their clean school uniforms — and their dignity — to the mercy of whipped cream pies. Baked goods were available by donation, while students paid $5 for the chance to pie a teacher or classmate who had volunteered in advance.
Students lined up in front of the school for the opportunity to pie their chosen student. Assistant headmaster Mr. Ernst also joined in the fun. The fundraiser was held to support the upcoming seventh- and eighth-grade trip to Key & Code Escape Rooms.
At Veritas, seventh- and eighth-grade students study logic as part of the curriculum. In preparation for the trip, students have been completing a variety of logic puzzles to strengthen their critical and lateral thinking skills.
“This was my second year being pied, and this time I knew what to expect,” said eighth-grader Andrea Quiles. “Honestly, if I could get pied in the face as a career, I’d consider it.”
In total, the class raised more than $600 — enough to cover lunch, transportation, and admission for their visit to the escape rooms.
