Dear Everest Academy Parents and Friends,

Congratulations on the completion of week one of the new school year. We are thankful for the wonderful activities that have begun our new school year at Everest Academy thanks to your generosity: Meet and Greet, New Moms' Coffee, Parent Orientation, and the Band Experience meeting. Thank you for your participation.

We are very pleased with the progress of all of our students. Each one has made a special effort to begin the school year on the right course.  Our new students seem to have easily adapted to the school community and are making great new friends. We do know however adjustments to homework and routines will take more time. Know that we as a team are available to assist at anytime.

With that said, I must acknowledge our faculty and staff for all of their hard work and efforts to receive our students. Many faculty members were here throughout the summer preparing for their class. Our administration has been continually working to improve our service and educational product to ensure the best quality education for your child (ren). I am very grateful for our staff and faculty members and trust in their competence and generosity.

This is another important year of growth and development in the success of Everest Academy as we move forward in our mission to assist in the development of Christian leaders. To accomplish this, we provide an integral formation through personalized attention, motivated by love and respect for each of our students. 

A key factor in the success of Everest Academy is the help and support we have from our parents and for which we are so appreciative. We ask that you please consider taking part in some aspect of the school life which is always a wonderful way to get to know other families and to build new friendships. Most of all, it will allow you to experience our fine students. Next to having Christ present in the Eucharist here on campus, our students are one of the greatest gifts we have at Everest Academy.  

We are in most need of team leaders to spearhead the various committees. To head up a committee may appear somewhat daunting; however, please know that we strive to keep things simple and manageable.  You will have the help and support you need to accomplish your task. Team leaders have the benefit of working closely with our Parents Association, many of whom are "experts" since they have offered their support with various school activities. Thank you for giving of your time and talent which will allow us to fulfill our goals.

I look forward to working with you and your child(ren). We are interested in getting to know you better. Our desire is to learn how we can specifically serve your family and where together we can work in the best interest of your child’s education and in the ongoing development of our school community. You are co-founding families of Everest Academy, building a school of excellence for your children and future generations.

Please feel free to contact me at anytime. Thank you for allowing us to work in partnership with you, entrusting your child’s care and education to us. We keep all of our families and benefactors in our daily prayers and we as faculty and staff count on your prayers as well.

God bless you,

Sincerely in Christ,

Christine Gamache
