| Message from Principal Hamilton | What a beautiful week it has been at Everest! Last Friday, we were blessed to celebrate our annual Mother’s Tribute, a special tradition that allows our students to express their love and gratitude for the incredible mothers and mother figures in their lives. Thank you to all of our Everest moms for the countless sacrifices, prayers, and acts of love that help make our school community such a joyful and faith-filled family! | Thank you to Mrs. Lambert and our kindergarten class for helping us to honor our Holy Father, Pope Leo IV! | And what a beautiful May Crowning we had yesterday on the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima! I am sure Our Blessed Mother was delighted to see the joy and devotion of our students as they laid flowers at her feet and recited the rosary during our procession through the school. Thank you to our 8th-grade class for leading us in this special Marian tradition! | Next Wednesday, May 20th, all are welcome to attend our Spring Showcase featuring the art and music of our K-8 students. Students are required to attend and should come dressed in their full school uniform. Please plan to arrive at 6:30 pm. We will begin with the art showcase and conclude with the musical performances. I am looking forward to celebrating the many gifts and talents God has blessed our students with throughout the year. | |
Lastly, I invite you to come out and cheer on our Knights in their final home games of the season! Thank you for supporting our student-athletes and helping create such a spirited school community! Go Knights!
