2023-2024 Friends of Veritas Newsletter Archives

Dear Friends,

As we embrace this final stretch of the 2023-2024 school year, it is with great joy that we reconnect to share our semester happenings around Veritas. Since the last newsletter, our winter athletes have been victorious, our students have showcased their fine arts skills, we have served together as a community across Austin, and much more! We invite you to join us for our end of school year events and celebrations. We have a few spring traditions & events over the next couple of weeks, including our Spring Alumni reception, End of School year assembly, and the Class of 2024 Graduation. Hope to see some of you soon!

10th Grade College Visit Trip

Just a couple months ago, Veritas reinstated the 10th Grade College Visit Trip after three years due to COVID. The purpose of this trip is two-fold: to build community in the grade and to expose students to a variety of colleges and how to visit a university. Thirty-one sophomores explored the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Dallas, and Baylor University. These were chosen so that students could compare a small liberal arts school, a large state university, and a large Christian university. Our students were amazing ambassadors for Veritas through their punctuality, kind manners, and respectful engagement on the tours. We are so excited that we were able to bring this opportunity back for our students. 

So Long, Farewell to the Sound of Music! 

We said "So Long, Farewell" to The Sound of Music and we would like to thank the community for such outstanding support. With all five scheduled shows sold out after the first performance, the cast and crew agreed to put on an extra sixth show Thursday evening to share this production with as many people as possible. It was so wonderful to see so many families join us and see the delight on their faces after witnessing such beautiful work. We are thankful for the continued support by our Administrators and community for our growing Theatre department!

All Defender Grandparents of current students and alumni (including alumni parents who are now grandparents!), are invited to gather before Christmas break for a time to visit with one another and hear from Family Ministries Ambassador, Ellen Schuknecht. In addition to being pivotal to the Family Ministries department at Veritas and a mentor to other Univeristy-Model Schools across the nation, Ellen is "Oma" to 11 grandchildren and will discuss ways that grandparents can promote service in their families and encourage grandchildren to think of others before themselves. Light refreshments will be provided, and grandparents are also encouraged to use this time to attend any class presentations that their grandchildren may be participating in throughout the morning.

Veterans Day Flag Retirement and Raising Ceremony

With deep respect and admiration, our school community came together for a special Veteran's Day ceremony, recognizing the sacrifices many have made to safeguard our freedoms. The retirement of worn flags symbolized a sacred act of remembrance, emphasizing the importance of gratitude and respect for those who have selflessly served in defense of our cherished values.

As the new flags were raised, there was a collective sense of unity and pride, a testament to the enduring spirit of our nation. The ceremony served as a powerful reminder of the values that bind us together as a community and the debt of gratitude we owe to those who have bravely defended our liberty.

May the memory of this poignant ceremony inspire a continued commitment to honor and support our veterans, embodying the principles of faith, service, and unity that define Veritas Academy.

Students are memorizing Psalm 103:11-18 and James 3:2-12 from the English Standard Version (ESV) during the Spring 2024 Semester. The goal of this exercise is to hide God’s word in our hearts, reflect upon these truths, and converse among our families. Feel free to join us in this important discipline and opportunity!

Homecoming MMXXIII 

Homecoming at Veritas is a cherished tradition with creative dress-up days, witty skits, pep rallies, and more that showcase our vibrant school culture. Students love to be creative, have fun, and enjoy making memories together. These values shined brightly during Homecoming MMXXIII with daily themes as unique as our student body!

As fun as the costumes and competitions are though, the real highlight of the week is welcoming alumni to campus and seeing them reconnect with one another! Thank you to all of our Defender alumni who joined the pre-game "tailgate" (which wouldn't have been complete without queso) and stayed to fill the field during halftime. You are welcome home anytime.

Class of 2012 & 2013 Class Reunions!

A couple of weeks ago, alumni from our first graduating classes celebrated their 10 year reunion(s). With the same diligence and resolve they embodied as students, they booked flights, took off from work, arranged for babysitters, and made the time to come out and gather for their reunion. For some of these former students, this was their first time on our new campus, and even though they resonated with the spirit of Veritas that is still alive and well here, they couldn't help but share stories about one of the few physical symbols that remains from "their" Veritas—the Broken Bus. They remember being proud of the bus as one of the first vehicles to bear the Veritas name and logo... and then not being as proud when the bus earned its name and broke down... more than once. Still, it worked well enough to drive them to Houston for the inaugural Veritas Experiencing Europe class trip and to take them to many athletic events and other competitions and sites around the area.

That bus is just one representation of the many memories shared that evening, and we are honored to be a part of keeping those memories alive and ingrained in our community. Soon the Broken Bus will be a hub for coffee and community on campus (until our community center/gym is built), tying us back to our roots and reminding us of God's faithful provision in every season, even with buses that are more than slightly used. Thank you, alumni, for continuing to be a part of the Veritas Academy legacy and for contributing to our school's history and foundation.

P.S. Class of '14, tag—you're it ;)

2023 Veritas Valiant Grant Designated to Youth Mission Trip Scholarships 

Josh Underwood, the 2023 Veritas Valiant Recipient, has designated his grant to Grace Covenant Church's Mobilization Ministry to provide scholarships for youth mission trips. Grace's missions work focuses on worldwide and local opportunities to equip and empower believers to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and God's heart for all people. Josh has served on several trips (through generous donations) both abroad to Belize and locally in Texas. He particularly remembers a trip to Houston that touched many hearts, including his, where the Holy Spirit was vividly felt as the team served others and tended to the physical and spiritual needs of the homeless. Because of this experience, Josh is hopeful that the grant will help the next set of middle and high schoolers dip their toes into the mission field and inspire them to don the spiritual armor and become warriors for the Kingdom of God.

What is the Veritas Valiant Award & Grant?

The Veritas Valiant Award is the academy’s highest honor acknowledging a graduating senior whose life is marked not just by intellect and accomplishment, but also by excellence and virtue. Beginning with the Class of 2019, the recipient(s) of the Veritas Valiant Award have received the honor of making a significant monetary contribution to a cause or program about which they are passionate by directing an anonymously sponsored $3,000 grant to that organization.

One Act Play Cast Win 3rd Place at State

Congratulations are in order to The Citizens Theatre cast and crew of The Lost Boy for placing 3rd at the TAPPS State Competition, which was preceded by the troops' Championship title earned at District. Along with their collective state placement, several students also received individual awards for their performance: Caden Pennington was awarded Best Actor, Scout Sowers and Finnley Smitheal were awarded Honorable Mention Cast, Spencer Miller and Abbie Bush were awarded All Star Cast, and Mabel Windham and Bliss Mohon were awarded All Star Crew.

Cross Country State Championship Results 

Senior Matthew Ard earned Academic All-State honors for the second year in a row as he led the men to a top 15 team performance yet again at the State Championship. They exceeded their 2022 performance with 3 top 70 finishers (including rookie junior Jack Bruce and sophomore Caleb Eilers). These young men pushed each other all season with both Caleb and sophomore John Krawzsenek shaving over a minute off their times and improving 40 places on the state leaderboard. Our tight-knit group of five ladies were led by rookie sophomore Bliss Mohon and senior Ella Shaw as they finished within one second of each other in the top 100 this year. Congratulations to all our runners on their improvement this season!

Dear Friends,

Summer break doesn't seem too long ago—especially with the heat that has stuck around so long—but campus has been abuzz since early August, with many traditions and new events already under our belt for the new school year! In fact, Homecoming Week is going on right now with the Veritas Defenders taking on the Texas School for the Deaf Rangers this Friday, September 29, at 7:30pm on Defender Field.

After catching up on recent happenings in this first edition of the ‘23-’24 Friends of Veritas Newsletter, please join us Friday evening—and throughout the fall—as special members of the Veritas community!

- The Veritas Family

First Days of School!

Veritas Academy kicked off its 19th school year this August, and what a joy it has been to have Defender students back throughout our halls, classrooms, and 97 acres! We have much to celebrate and praise God for as we have welcomed 124 new students from 65 new families, 22 new faculty members, and 7 new staff members to the Veritas community, reaching 676 students enrolled from the youngest Defenders in our PreSchool classes to the 33 seniors in the Class of 2024. Additionally, we kicked off the school year with our 5th-12th graders attending the Connect Conference, which was followed a few days later with the 1st Day of Classes for all students. Parents also gathered for “Cheers and Tears” to pray over our school, students, faculty and staff, and campus. It was a bonus that August 21, was also the birthday of our new Head of School, Cameron Cook, which meant extra celebrating!

ADMINISTRATION FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR

After a few weeks off in the middle of the summer, campus reopened in early July with Cameron Cook officially assuming the role of Veritas Academy's Head of School (HOS). He stepped into this position after a year of serving as Veritas's Chief Business Officer and after 3 months of being named our next HOS, which allowed him the opportunity to work closely alongside Jef Fowler (VA HOS ‘05-’23) in preparation for this transition.

Though some change is inevitable for all communities during a transition of this magnitude, Cameron is committed to building on the solid foundation that has been laid for our school through the wise and effective leadership of the Veritas Board, Jef, and so many others. As he leads Veritas forward, we will continue to build on the calling and values that unify us and the worthy mission that we have together as the Veritas community. 

To further support the vision of Veritas, Cameron is surrounded by respected leaders at the helm of each school level and department, with a few new faces joining him as fellow administrators.

2023 Thematic Goal & Few Words From Cameron

At our annual Paideia Conference the week of August 7, Cameron spoke to the entire community of parents and faculty/staff as he cast a vision for the 2023 school year rooted in the truth and goodness of Isaiah 58:12 which reads: “And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” Cameron further explained that Veritas has 18 years of a faithful, hard-fought, and wondrous foundation for us to continue to grow for the Glory of God. In this, he shared the thematic goal and defining objectives for the year, which you can watch—or read—below.

Cameron also took a few moments before Labor Day Weekend to reflect on the first few weeks of the school year and to encourage parents as they press into the opportunity that Veritas gives them to better know how God has uniquely created each of our children and is preparing them—and us—to be His light in this world in a variety of ways. This is a season to be embraced!

Oh, the Places You'll Go! Class of 2036

Since 2012, each graduating class at Veritas has had a special storytime towards the end of their senior year—usually on “creek day”—with the reading of Dr. Suess's Oh, the Places You'll Go! Beginning in 2018, the tradition has been mirrored with a reading for the Kindergarten class when they take their first venture into the “woods” behind their classrooms and gather in the Rock Garden. The tradition has continued with the Class of 2036, marking Cameron's first of many readings.

Join us in Memorizing Scripture

Students are memorizing Exodus 20:1-17 and Psalm 103:8-10 from the English Standard Version (ESV) during the Fall Semester. The goal of this exercise is to hide God’s word in our hearts, reflect upon these truths, and converse among our families. Feel free to join us in this important discipline and opportunity!

Campus Projects & Phase II Development on the Horizon 

On a campus our size, there is always a list of projects that we are completing and dreaming about! This summer saw several projects cross the finish line to enhance the community and values that are central to Veritas. 

• Light pole banners were installed and now line the road onto campus while highlighting the Virtues of a Defender as we come and go each day.

• The formerly muddy hillside off of the Cafe Patio is now a beautifully terraced gathering place for students to play spikeball, parents to fellowship with one another, and all to enjoy community. 

• Our Grammar School Villages (grades PreSchool-4) received some needed love via a fresh coat of paint to start the new school year.

Phase II: Community Center, Gym & Fine Arts

In mid-August, current families completed a What Can We Build Survey for Phase II, which will be a community center with gym/fine arts spaces on our own campus! The feedback we received helped to narrow the scope of development between two project proposals that range from $10M to $15M. The differences between these projects are significant enough that we have spent the month of September conducting a Pre-Campaign Study to better identify our fundraising goal and project scope. Our intent is to continue to spend this semester on the Pre-Campaign Study and a Silent Phase of fundraising before launching a campaign community-wide in the Spring of 2024. Should you desire to be an early supporter of this exciting project, please complete the survey linked below or email our Advancement Director Katie Luevano. While Katie will be on maternity leave for most of the fall, she will still be able to connect you with another member of the campaign team.

2022 Veritas Valiant Recipients & Grant

The Veritas Valiant Award is the academy’s highest honor acknowledging a graduating senior whose life is marked not just by intellect and accomplishment, but also by excellence and virtue. Beginning with the Class of 2019, the recipient(s) of the Veritas Valiant Award have received the honor of making a significant monetary contribution to a cause or program about which they are passionate by directing an anonymously sponsored $3,000 grant to that organization.

While the 2022 Veritas Valiant Recipients, Maggie McLatcher and Elliana Krone, were announced at their graduation, their grants have only recently been awarded. As wonderful as both of these ladies are, their hearts to help provide intentional opportunities for youth to know and follow Christ and to protect and rescue the most vulnerable among us, are clearly demonstrated in their grant designations to Pine Cove's McKenzie Scholarship Fund and Unbound Now Austin.

Unbound Now

Elliana has chosen to award her grant to Unbound Now. She is passionate about Unbound Now's commitment to prevent, protect, and bring freedom to those affected by human trafficking, and she hopes that this grant will continue the impact this ministry has had on the lives of children all around the world and in our local communities. 

Furthermore, Elliana is committed to personally getting involved with Unbound Now Austin and will soon be meeting with the area director to learn more about program and advocacy opportunities. While it is difficult to imagine how human trafficking can take place in our own communities like Austin, these Unbound Now PSAs are a great start in learning more about common trafficking scenarios and can help equip you with valuable knowledge and awareness.

Pine Cove: McKenzie Scholarship Fund

As a Pine Cove camper, Maggie gave her life to Christ at age 14 at their high school camp called The Ridge. The experience was so meaningful that she now spends her summers serving as a counselor at the same camp. Maggie says, “Truly, I have never seen a better glimpse of what Heaven will be. Watching children come to know Jesus better and have a greater understanding of what the Gospel truly is makes my summers at Pine Cove worth it. Getting to mentor and encourage campers who were in the same spot I was in encourages me to this day in my walk with Christ. #SendYourKidToCamp!”

Maggie has chosen to designate her Valiant Grand to Pine Cove's McKenzie Fund with the hope of helping campers experience Christ for the first time and/or encourage them as they grow in their faith. Pine Cove's McKenzie Scholarship Fund extends financial aid to campers and families who may not be able to send their children to camp for a variety of reasons, and with generous support, the fund has been able to help numerous campers experience the Gospel for the first time and receive Christ into their lives.

New Dean of Fine Arts: Neela Beddoe

Neela Beddoe has been a Veritas co-teacher for the past four years and after joining Veritas faculty last year as an instructor in SL Theater (grades 5-8), she is now leading the Fine Arts department and instructing SR Theater as well (grades 9-12). Neela has a diverse background in the arts and extensive experience in operations and management. Born to a composer and jazz musician father, and a mother who was a professor of Persian literature, Neela was immersed in a world of creativity from a young age. Her love for theater began when she joined the Junior Shakespeare Academy acting troupe at the age of 10. Over the years she performed in Shakespearean plays, musical theater productions, and as a jazz vocalist and session singer. Neela's professional work in the arts extended beyond the stage. She has also worked as a freelance makeup artist, costume designer, and interior designer in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. Alongside her work as an artist, Neela has over 20 years of experience in operations and management and has held leadership positions in the tech industry, commercial real estate, and events.

Most importantly, Neela and her husband Marshall share a deep commitment to Christ and classical education and strive to model a passion for learning and creating for their 3rd and 5th Grade daughters. She and her students are currently working hard on their upcoming fall productions which will be performed in October and November.
