Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Everest Academy school year!  We would like to take this opportunity to introduce all of you to the Everest Academy Parents Association.  The EAPA has existed for some years now, supporting and organizing many of the various events held throughout the school year.  We support  Room Moms and other events such as Grandparent’s Day, Teacher Appreciation Day and Field Day.  Thus, the primary role of the EAPA is to support the administration, but not only that!  We are a school community and therefore work to foster a sense of community spirit in all we do!

This year some of the members of the EAPA are:

James and Renee Yep, Presidents
Daniel and Annette Waligora, Vice Presidents
Cindy O’Malley, Secretary
Jenny Duffy, Treasurer 

Just like so many of our school families, we volunteer; we recognize the need to get involved in making Everest Academy the best academic institution in all of Chicago!  There’s room for everyone, so please let one of us know if you would like to volunteer in the many areas of need.

Our goal for this year is to unite in the mission of Everest, which is forming leaders for Christ!  Many of this year’s programs will reflect this goal, as we come together as a school family to support and encourage one another.

To assure the success of our wonderful school events, we are asking each family for a $25.00 Everest Academy Parents Association activity fee.  This fee is going to help cover costs for the events throughout the year as well as hospitality.  We are asking that this activity fee be paid on Meet and Greet day, August 26, 2011.

All of us in the Everest Academy Parents Association are looking forward to an exciting new year.  We look forward to strengthening friendships from the past, and making new friends with all our newly enrolled families! May God continue to bless our school as we work and pray to form our children to be great leaders for Christ!

Sincerely,

James and Renee Yep
Presidents

Daniel and Annette Waligora
Vice Presidents

About Everest

Everest Academy Lemont, founded in 1995 as White Pines Academy, is a private Catholic school offering a Pre-K through grade 8 program.

Our goal is to offer each child the highest quality education through Integral Formation®, the pedagogical method developed by the Legionaries of Christ. Through Integral Formation®, each student benefits from a personalized approach that develops the whole person, from intellect and character to spiritual life and apostolic responsibility. The result: intelligent, responsible, and positive leaders who will transform society with the Gospel values.

Here at Everest Academy, with our brand new campus opened for the fall 2009 school year, we are poised for growth and ready to give our students a Catholic educational experience that will last them a lifetime. Find out more by taking a tour of our campus.
