| In Case You Missed It: Lenten Annual Appeal Now Underway | On Ash Wednesday we officially launched our Lenten Annual Appeal, Orange You Committed? 🍊 | Thank you to the many families who have already participated. Because of your generosity, our orange trees are already beginning to grow. Seeing those first oranges appear is a beautiful reminder of what happens when our community comes together in faith and unity. | As we continue our Lenten journey, we invite every Everest family to prayerfully consider participating. Our goal is 100% family participation — not equal gifts, but equal heart. Every gift, no matter the size, is a meaningful sign of unity and support for our mission. | You can follow class participation progress by viewing the tracker — click here or use the gold button below to see how your grade is doing and help move your class forward. | As an added incentive, each homeroom that reaches 100% participation will receive a special Ice Cream Sundae Bar celebration. 🍨 | And don’t forget — every family who participates is entered into a raffle to win a vacation to Margaritaville Orlando. 🌴 | Thank you for your continued partnership, generosity, and commitment to Everest Academy. Together, we are growing something beautiful. | | Message from Principal Hamilton | | Thank you to the dads who joined us last Friday. It truly is a joy to honor the men who love, guide, and support our students each day. Our annual celebration is just a small way to recognize the sacrifices you make and the important role you play in your children’s lives. I would also like to thank our teachers, as well as our front office team, esp. Mrs. Fewkes, for their time and dedication in preparing for this special event. | In a few days, we will begin one of the most solemn and sacred weeks of the liturgical year as we commemorate the Passion of Our Lord, and celebrate his Resurrection. Today, our middle school students participated in a Lenten retreat, preparing their hearts for Holy Week by praying the Stations of the Cross and reflecting on the Seven Last Words of Jesus. | The theme of the retreat was Finish Strong! Wherever you’re at, it’s not too late to finish strong. You can still go deep! Our middle schoolers received a Holy Week Challenge, and I extend that same invitation to each of you - to enter into Holy Week with renewed intention and faith. Whether by participating in Holy Week Missions (see information below) or setting aside time for prayer or reflection at home, I encourage you to make this week especially meaningful. You may want to check out one of these activities for you to do with your family. | Count on my prayers for you and your family as we head into the final week of Lent. | Rejoicing in gratitude for God's blessings, | | As we enter into Holy Week, may we deepen our faith and draw closer to Jesus. May God grant us the strength and perseverance to finish our Lenten journey strong! | |
