Grandparents & Grand-friends day is Friday, November 7 and we can't wait for you to join us!
Swipe to see all the details and be sure to tell your child's grandparents & grand-friends to join us for this special morning!
As a fun way to build critical thinking, communication and teamwork skills, our 7th and 8th grade Logic students occasionally play games.
This fun game called, SET, was donated by our librarian, Mrs.
Windheuser and she even took time to teach the students how to play.
SET helped our students apply developing skills and we quickly understood why this is a family favorite of Mrs. Windheuser!
Whether we go visit their campus or they come visit ours, we provide opportunities throughout the year for our high school students to explore colleges. This fall we have visited with Manhattan Christian College, KSU, John Brown University, Oral Roberts University and Palm Beach University from Florida.
The kindergarteners and first graders enjoyed their first field trip of the year to the pumpkin patch! It was a gorgeous day and lots of fun!
Our Seniors spend the majority of their year perfecting the art of public speaking and one of their first speeches was focused on Grandparents Day which is happening on Friday, November 7th. Our speakers have been selected and we know grandparents & grand-friends will enjoy what they have to share!
Tonight is the night for our homecoming game against Manhattan Chief.
Come out to Bennett Field and cheer on the Eagles and each paid admission receives a free gift!
Kick off is at 6:30! Let's go Eagles!
Our junior high football team had a special guest show up at practice, starting left offensive tackle for the KU Jayhawks and former Veritas student, Calvin Clements! Calvin spent time encouraging our players and answering questions- it's safe to say this was their favorite practice so far!
Catch our Eagles at Bennett Field on Thursday, October 9th for our Homecoming Game!
The last Wednesday of the month is Elementary Chapel and we'd loved worshipping with our students today!
Students, parents, and staff gathered before school this morning to participate in See You at the Pole. This national event happens on the fourth Wednesday of September and is led by students who voluntarily gather around the flagpole and pray for their friends, their school and for a move of God.
Parents are always welcome to join each Thursday morning from 8-9 in the secondary music room for prayer as well. Each week emphasis is put on different classes, teachers, and staff.
Our 5th & 6th graders had their first field trip of the year and were able to explore butterflies at the Monarch Watch at KU. Our students enjoyed exploring the pollinator gardens and looking for a variety of butterflies. We love seeing God's beautiful creation!
Today is World View Wednesday for our high school students.
World View Wednesday gives our students the opportunity to hear from men and women working in the world and bringing their faith into their everyday work. The testimonies & vocational inspiration we always experience through such sharing helps our students to see how they can integrate their faith with their career. And introduces them to a variety of career opportunities as they begins to think about what they would like to do after graduating.
Today we heard from Lindsay Clements and Amber Stewart, co-founders of Midwest Doula Services.
Our secondary students are starting off their Friday in Chapel! We love to see our students leaning in to God's Word and hearing from Pastors throughout our community.
Chapel is every Friday morning at 8:00 and parents are always welcome to join in.
Today, alumna Raeleigh Windheuser joined our brand-new Consumer Sciences class. With her architecture degree from KU, she shared her knowledge and passion during the interior design unit.
Thank you, Raeleigh, for investing in the next generation of Veritas students! #RediscoverVeritas
The Intro to Engineering class is hard at work building robots today! Now that sounds like fun!
Yay for the first day of school! We LOVE having all of you back and are looking forward to the best year yet!
Happy first day to our teachers and staff! They are busy preparing for a great year ahead and can't wait to welcome students back next week.
Our Varsity and Jr High volleyball teams played in their first pre-season tournament last weekend. Varsity went 5-3 on Friday, and played very well against two strong opponents on Saturday. Junior High got off to a slow start of Friday, but rebounded well on Saturday by going 3-2 and placing 3rd place in their division! It was a great weekend to start the season & we can't wait to see you cheering on our Eagles this fall!
The best night of the year is right around the corner- Barn Party is November 7th and we want you there! More details to come!
We’re proud to share that Veritas coaches are now CPR certified!
The health and safety of our student-athletes remain a top priority at Veritas. By ensuring our coaches are trained in CPR and emergency response, we're better equipped to protect and care for our teams—on and off the field/court.
Thank you to our dedicated coaching staff for going the extra mile to create a safe and supportive environment for our athletes!
Meet Coach Gaspers!
Sport(s) Coaching: Girls Basketball
Playing Experience (in any sport at any level): High School baseball. I still play softball and bowl to this day.
Coaching Experience: (in any sport at any level): I've been coaching girls’ basketball since 2020.
Years with Veritas (in any capacity, not just as a coach): My daughters have been going to Veritas since 2014.
Your favorite part about coaching: My favorite part about coaching is getting to know the players. Seeing them grow and succeed and seeing each player push themselves beyond their normal limits over the course of the season.
What do you hope athletes learn from playing your sport? I hope they learn to play for the glory of God. I also hope they learn to embrace challenges, togetherness, team prayer, positivity, confidence, working as a team, resilience, and develop leadership skills.
What is your favorite part about the sport you are coaching? My favorite part is seeing the players learn how to play as a team, overcome, and succeed. They learn that you don't have to do it by yourself. When a team plays together, nothing is as strong. Trust in God and each other, then there is nothing that will disappoint us.
Why should someone who has never played your sport try it this year? They become part of a team. They learn that you can always look to the team. You can lean on your teammates and become someone your teammates can lean on. This builds camaraderie between all of the players. They learn that challenges are not to be feared, because perseverance builds character, perseverance brings hope and builds faith, truth of faith brings understanding, and love and the love of Christ brings compassion.
Favorite Bible verse: Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
