​NE​WS & EVENTS​

We would like to express our sincerest thanks to our donors and participants for making our first ArtExperience on the Green a success. Special thanks goes to Rockwind Grill for the wonderful venue and food. The Lord provided a glorious fall day to fellowship and raise money for his school. Without you all, classical, Christian education in Lea County would not be possible.

In Christ alone,

The VCCA Board of Directors

Fall Fundraising

In order to stay true to our mission, VCCA does not accept state or federal monies. Hence, we must raise over 40% of our budget each year. Our board is continually searching for creative ways to accomplish this necessary fundraising.

This year the Lord opened the door for a new event called ArtExperience on the Green. We were able to feature original artwork from state and local artists for auction as well as other items from generous retailers and individuals. Guests could also drive balls on the range, play cornhole and other board games, create a craft, or just relax on the patio.

SPIRIT DAY - Thanksgiving Feast

November 18

It's Thankful November and we will be offering something more than pizza for lunch! Watch for a Kendall's menu and order your Thanksgiving meal. And of course, jeans and spirit shirts are the dress code for the day.

SCHOOL SPELLING BEE

December 2

Veritas will hold it's School Spelling Bee on December 2nd in the Commons Area and families are invited. Each grade will hold a classroom spelling bee during October and early November. The top two spellers from each grade will advance to the school bee.

The classroom spelling bee winners will study the Scripps Spelling Bee word list for grades 1 - 8 and compete in the school spelling bee. The top two spellers from the school bee will be awarded first and second place. First place will receive a $50 gift card and Second place will receive a $25 gift card.

The top school speller (must be in grades 3rd – 8th) will move on to the district bee (runner up will go to district bee if winner is unable to attend).

CHRISTMAS CHAPEL AND

SERVICE PROJECT

December 9

​

Join us for a special Christmas Chapel on December 9th. Watch as our Kinder-2nd graders act out the age old Christmas Story - the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We will also participate in a Christmas Service Project by making cards to deliver to the residents as well as caroling to the nursing homes. What an awesome way to wrap up the 2nd Quarter of the year.

Teachers and students are invited to wear Christmas shirts/sweatshirts and jeans, a special Christmas outfit, or wear red and green items to show their Christmas spirit.  See you at Chapel!

For unto you is born this day,

in the City of David, a Savior

which is Christ the Lord.

~Luke 2:11

1-Day Trip for 6th/7th Graders

February 4, 2022

​

This one day class is an action-packed day full of exciting experiences that introduce 6th and 7th grade students to their state government using a dynamic, hands-on approach. Students are led by an energetic team as they explore their Capitol, pray for their leaders, discuss their mock legislation, and so much more!

4-Day Trip for 8th - 12th Graders

January 31 - February  

​

This Four Day Class is a dynamic, hands-on leadership experience where Students, ages 13-19, learn about state government from a Christian worldview. Students gather at their local State Capitol to run for Student office, participate in a mock legislature, and learn about how they can be effective leaders in their community back home.

Parents are responsible for registering their students online: https://teenpact.com/states/nm/.

Please do not wait until the last minute to register. Hotel reservations have been made and a donation has been given to help cover the costs; this will make the total cost to each student less than what we thought. Please contact Mrs. Whitley with any questions you may have.
