STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Veritas School's own Sara Tully and sisters head to Gymnastics Western Nationals!
  
Defying all odds, sisters Sara Tully - 17, Kara Tully - 14 and Grace Tully - 12 , qualify to compete at USAG WESTERN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, April 28-31 in Missoula, MT.  It is rare and difficult for one athlete in a family to qualify at this demanding level, but for 3 sisters to do it in the same year is extremely rare!!  
 
Only 28 Level 9 athletes from Oregon qualified to Nationals at the recent Region 2 Championships, where oldest sibling Sara was the All-Around Champion!
 
What fun in an Olympic year when the nation's attention turns to gymnastics on an International level to be able to also celebrate an incredible accomplishment by three young athletes from the Portland community!!
 

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Fourth grade student Carson Wheaton took 3rd place at the Kid's State Wrestling Championships in Bend over the weekend! Congratulations, Carson!

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING SHARING PHOTOS

A number of parents, teachers and classes have been using Shutterfly accounts as a repository for picture sharing. This is a great option in theory, but please take note that once photos are uploaded to Shutterfly they cannot be downloaded again or transferred to others for use in anything other than printing through Shutterfly. If you have photos to share with the school for
yearbook, marketing or Verbatim,
PLEASE do not assume that we can pull them from Shutterfly to use.
Please share photos via CD, flash-drive, or as an email attachment to the attention of Lucinda Brown for Verbatim and yearbook, or directed to Kasi Woidyla  in Marketing. You may also upload photos specifically for the yearbook to the Lifetouch. 
We are working on a new and better process for sharing photos, but in the meantime please follow these guidelines. Thank you!

~PARENTS~
YEARBOOK PHOTOS NEEDED PLEASE!
   
In order to have a good sized Liber Anni this year our Yearbook Club will need to get a LOT MORE PHOTOS!  We need your help! Classroom activities, field trips, anything that has to do with our school would be appreciated.. All are invited to contribute by uploading photos of school events to our new community image upload website. See flyer to learn how to upload photos or go to our website or more information. Contact yearbook adviser, Lucinda Brown or 503-476-2131 with questions.
