Lenten Annual Appeal

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.

Fun Run!

Thank you for helping make our inaugural Fun Run such a tremendous success. Because of your incredible support and generosity, we not only had a wonderful community event, but we also reached our goal of $30,000. We actually exceeded it bringing in $30,900! We are so grateful for the enthusiasm and commitment of our Everest families.

Thanks to reaching our goal, our students have earned an all-school field trip on Monday, April 20. Students will be dismissed at 1:30 PM, and families are invited to bring their children to Arctic Ice Arena in Orland Park for an afternoon of skating and fun.

A special thank you to the Foster family for generously providing the ice time for our students. We will have two sheets of ice available from 2:20–3:20 PM, giving everyone plenty of space to enjoy the celebration.
