Dear Parents,
I hope this finds you all very well. We are very pleased with the interest in our Drama Club production-thank you for having your child(ren) participate. We have 45 students registered so far.
Please see the following points for your consideration.
Registration: If you are still interested and have not submitted a registration form please do so as soon as possible this week.
Drama Teachers: We have had such a fine response that we will have an additional Drama teacher join us to assist Mr. Smith. We are very pleased to welcome Mrs. Jennifer Collins to Everest Academy. She will join us today for the first time. We will provide bios and contact information on both Mr. Smith and Mrs. Collins. They will make an excellent team.
Auditions: From 11:30 am to 3:00 pm today, as you know, students were meeting individually with Mr. Smith at 5 minute intervals to “audition” for a part in the Peter Pan production. This set of auditions was primarily more a means to personally meet and work with each student. All who have registered will be part of the production. Mr. Smith will be informing students of their parts in the next week. Mr. Smith will cast the characters based on this meeting with each student. We will also provide a script for each student this week.
Meetings and Practice: You are aware that we have varying age levels participating in our Drama Club, which is wonderful. How we will work with each age level, we are in the process of determining. This will mean that the kindergarten students and depending on the character a student is cast in, may not need to be present for the whole 2 hour drama club period. We will provide more clarity on this in the upcoming week and we thank you for your patience. Some costs may be adjusted based on less time for younger students. At the same time please know that the possibility of having the Drama club is based on the collective financial contribution and participation/support of the program. This builds the viability to offer this Fine Arts activity annually.
Drama Club Committee: This year we would like to form a parent drama club committee. We hope that interested parents will meet to help support and to assist in the execution and success of this production as well as to build the foundation for future years.
Important Information: Please see the attached information from Mr. Smith (some of which your child received today). The audition sides can be re-read at home together as well just as warm ups. These were used in the auditions. (Check your email for this document).
You may want to pack your child an extra snack if you wish to do so on Mondays since it will be a longer day for them.
If it works for you at some point it may be good (although our production will not be exactly like the movie) to view a Peter Pan movie or to read the story together.
Thank you for your support, interest and collaboration as we work out all the logistics for our Drama Club.
Please feel free to contact me at anytime if you have further questions.
God bless,
Sincerely in Christ,
Christine Gamache

This is just a quick note to let you know that the Moms’ Coffee has been rescheduled to meet on St. Patrick’s Day – March 17th.
Moms, it’s a meeting you won’t want to miss as we draw ever closer to spring and start to think about getting busy in our gardens . . .

Dear Parents and Families in Christ,
I hope you are enjoying the good weather! I would like to share some great news about the Sponsorship Program that we are running at Everest Academy, called “Change 4 Change”. All the students are really excited about being able to help those kids in need. We have 3 kids we are sponsoring, whose names are Juan Pablo, Amayrani and Dylan.
Throughout these past months, our students have raised $478.41. Our goal is $1,800, which will be able to provide education for the three of them, for a whole year of top class education in one of the Mano Amiga Schools in Mexico, run by Legionaries.
It’s great to see the excitement on our students’ faces. Today, Thursday, one of our students told me: “Br Juan, I’ve one dollar”. Every amount counts. What is important is that we give it out of love.
This is what each class has raised so far:
God bless you! In Christ, Br Juan LC
NB: The article below is a great testimony of someone who was one day like one of the three children we are helping and now is a renowned heart surgeon. There is more to the story. It’s worth reading it!
Most of the people in the community lived without electricity or running water. Their lives were full of misery and poverty: foul smelling and contaminated water, shacks made of cardboard, unpaved streets, and barely-clothed children running through the neighborhoods. Upon learning about plans for the school, one man looked at me and replied, “We have been promised so many things.”
The school’s mission was to lift children out of poverty and transform them into leaders in the community. We began the first year in an eight-classroom building. Most children wore tattered clothing and without shoes. Within a week, half of the teachers and the vice principal resigned. We moved ahead and by the second month one hundred and twenty students had enrolled. Uniforms were sold for 50 cents. The care with which the students treated their new clothes was incredible!
Using an old typewriter, we wrote letters to parents, inviting them to a meeting with their child’s teacher and me. Not one parent ever missed an appointment. For some, that meant foregoing a half-day’s work. The parents were astounded by and grateful for the way we treated them. No one had ever spoken so positively with them about their children, nor taken an interest in their children’s lives. The mothers shared their difficulties. One mother asked me if the school would stop requiring her son to play sports. She explained that he was often weak because she did not have enough food to feed him every morning. Her husband had left her and their four children, two of whom had disabilities. Another instance that had a profound impact on me was at a school party when a second-grade child came running to show me a sandwich and exclaimed, “Look, it has meat in it! I am going to take it home and give it to my mother!”
After that first year, I took a position as the principal of another school. Nine years later, I returned to visit Helping Hand. The area was unrecognizable. Not only were there cement houses, electricity and running water, but also neighborhoods, shopping centers, and businesses. The construction of the school, with all of the additions had been completed.
After I first left the Helping Hand Institute, an impoverished child named Antonio Heredia enrolled in the school. Thirty years later, Dr. Jose Antonio Heredia recounted to me the positive experiences that he had as a student. He now has his own practice in a prestigious medical center and is considered to be one of the best young cardiovascular surgeons in Monterrey.
Antonio has maintained his involvement in Helping Hand and supports its programs. He said that it was gratifying to operate on me, as he felt it was an opportunity to express his gratitude for what he had received from Helping Hand.

Mano Amiga Student Sponsorship Program
by Father James McKenna LC
Last January, I was admitted to the intensive care unit at San Jose Hospital in Monterrey, Mexico. A highly respected surgeon concluded that I needed double bypass surgery. After the procedure, the surgeon visited me with a second surgeon whom I had not yet met. This younger physician introduced himself as Dr. Antonio Heredia. Recognizing my name, he asked, “Do you know the Helping Hand school?”
I replied, “Of course, I was its first principal.”
“We spoke often about you,” he said. “I was one of the first students at Helping Hand.”
I was filled with emotion and reminisced about those first months of the foundation of the Mano Amiga Institute in 1974; the poverty of the children, our hope and belief in the school’s potential to change their lives. Now, thirty years later, one of those same children was a cardiovascular surgeon directly involved in saving my life!
My involvement in the foundation of Helping Hand was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.

If you look at the school’s website-based calendar, you may have noticed entries that read “Illinois Math League Contest.” The Math League sponsors Math Contests for students in Grades 4 through 8. More than one million students from the United States and Canada participate each year. Students from Everest Academy compete in the Illinois statewide league competitions once each year, with teachers administering the short math contest during the regular school day on particular dates set by the Illinois Math League.
Every Math League contest features questions from different areas of mathematics. The goal of the League’s contests is to encourage student interest and confidence in mathematics through solving worthwhile problems. If you’d like more information you can visit www.themathleague.com. Sample tests are available at the site.
Dear Parents and Staff,
Here are a few updates and reminders for your attention:
Procedures for Dismissal from After-School Programs -- Drama, Polish, and Violin -- At the end of all after-school programs, including Pre-K after school programs, students will be walked to the school’s front door by their program teacher. The program teacher will stay with the students and supervise them at the front door until all students have been picked up by their parents at the front door of the school. If a parent is late, the after-school teacher will ask the office to phone a parent, and the program teacher will stay at the front door supervising students until all parents have picked up their children.
Mommy & Me – Everest Academy’s Mommy & Me class has been postponed. If more interest is shown in the program, Mommy & Me may be rescheduled to start at a later date and to run at a different time. We thank those who expressed an interest in the program and apologize for any inconvenience this change in plans may have caused.
Drama Club – Three documents pertaining to Drama Club’s production of Peter Pan are attached for your review:
1. Things to Know – Information and details about how Drama Club will work
2. Production Calendar – A calendar of important dates related to the Drama Club
3. Audition Permission Form – This form needs to be completed and returned to the office by Friday, February 25th if your child plans to participate in Drama Club.

Another TOOL TO ANNOUCE SCHOOL CLOSINGS
Now, in addition to using the services of the Emergency Closing Center (ECC) to provide families with information about school closings due to inclement weather, Everest Academy has subscribed to Phonevite. This service will enable us to record a message and broadcast it to all school families, as well as to all faculty and staff members.
By now, you should have received several calls broadcast from Everest Academy via Phonevite. If you have an additional phone number you would like added to the Phonevite call list, please inform the school office.
This photo captures a memory of Saturday’s basketball game between Everest Academy and East Lake Academy of Lake Forest, our Chicago-area sister-school. The Everest knights are sure to settle a score when the team’s play again next year for another meeting of these two friendly rivals.
An Update from Miss Maziarz
Dear Everest Families!
It’s great to be back at Everest after a long time away! It was so good to be with the students again! As some of you may know, all of the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi in the United States met together in Michigan for Christmas, and then in Rhode Island for 10 days for meetings with Bishop Ricardo Blasquez on our consecrated life. In short, I’ve missed all of you!
Seeing all the happy students, families and all the dedicated staff bustling around preparing the school for Open House reminded me of my school days at Everest Academy in Clarkston, MI.
Catholic Schools’ Week (snowed in or not), is a great reminder of what a gift we have received through others who have faithfully passed on the faith. While I was in Michigan, I had the huge gift of visiting my “alma mater” elementary school. My faithful principal, Mr. Richard Cross, gave me a tour! Walking through the hallways was like reliving my days there. There are SO many good memories!! I know that my life’s foundation was built there, in those classrooms, with those amazing teachers and staff, with the Legionary, Fr. Gomez who gave me and brought me to Christ, and with Christ Himself there in that little chapel, so faithful and loving. Wow. I could go on for awhile. What would I have done without those years there? Who would I have become if I hadn’t gone there? Yikes. I wanted to share these thoughts with you, because I’m sure you have had similar experiences, and that you want the same for your children. Believe me that it’s worth every penny to send your kids to Everest. It’s been worth my parents’ every cent…hmmm, I think I can say it’s been worth my whole life.God bless you dear families, staff and students of Everest! Thank you for your dedication!
I wanted to share some pictures with all of you! The picture below is of Everest Michigan’s boy’s school. They now have another building just for the girls, but we had everyone all together in this building while I attended Everest.Miss Teresa Maziarz
A special “thank you” goes to the Parent Association for the lovely Teacher Appreciation Luncheon they served to the staff during Catholic Schools Week. Thank you to the Student Council for the tasty breakfast. Thank you to the parents who planned and decorated for these events. Thank you to the moms who took care of student supervision during lunch and recess on this day so that the staff could
enjoy the luncheon as a team.
We are so very grateful for your show of appreciation!
