| | Message from Principal Hamilton | | Alleluia! Christ is Risen! | As I shared with our students during yesterday’s assembly, the joy of Easter has only just begun.

March Knights of Virtue
Second, congratulations to the students and teacher who were named March Knights of Virtue for living the virtue of Faith, the strength to believe in God and trust in His promises, even when we do not see or fully understand.
| I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to our Everest families for your incredible generosity! It is through your support that our mission continues to flourish. | -
Annual Appeal: It was wonderful to see so many answer the question “Orange You Committed?” and respond with a donation. We are currently finalizing the results and look forward to sharing the official impact of your donations with you shortly.
| -
Buckets of Hope: Our gym was full of energy today as students gathered to assemble relief buckets for families affected by natural disasters. A special thank you to our Student Government for their leadership in organizing this effort, and to all of you for providing the donations that made these "buckets of hope" possible.
| As we continue our celebration of Easter, may your homes and our school be filled with the lasting peace and hope of the Risen Christ. | Rejoicing in gratitude for God's blessings, | | Putting our faith into action! So proud of our students for coming together to build these Buckets of Hope for those in need. Spreading hope, one bucket at a time! | |
