BLOG: VERITAS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY GALA 2022

"The word Gala has its roots in a family of words filled with the meaning of festivity and rejoicing. The last time Veritas had a live, in-person, Gala was in 2018. This past Friday, April 29th from approximately 6:00-10:00 p.m., more than two hundred members of the Veritas community celebrated so much good. We had a lot of talking, laughing, and fellowshipping to make-up. It was all so wonderful..."

BLOOD DRIVE AT VCA



Hello, Veritas Community!

We have an opportunity to serve our community through a blood drive next week. We encourage VCA families to come out and support the American Red Cross. Each student that is not old enough to give blood can represent a donor and will receive a fun reward in return. Any student that is 16 and older can be a donor themselves with the support of all their peers around them.
