Dear Everest Families!

Happy All Saints Day to each of you! I can‟t believe we‟ve already finished up 2 full months of school! Meghan, Pili and I are at Everest on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I‟ve had the pleasure of meeting most of you in person during these months. I love spending time with you!  The Coworkers and I would love to get to know your families better, and we gladly accept any invitations to coffee or family dinners! 
As Formation Instructor, I work with Pili and Meg on implementing Everest‟s Virtue Program.   The most visual demonstrations of the Virtue Program are the beautiful campaigns outside the Chapel! These campaigns help motivate the students to live the virtue of the month at school and at home.  Attaining virtues is hard work! It‟s not easy to be patient, generous, responsible, etc. 

We need God‟s help and grace, and God‟s encouraging hand through others (mom, dad, teachers, and mentors). Motivation  is key! Meg and Pili have done a wonderful job, spending hours and creative energy making the campaign big, beautiful and an effective a tool of motivation! Our role at Everest is to help you as parents to find tools that help your family grow together in virtue. We hope that this month your family experiences the joy that comes from your children  building generous hearts! May God bless you and know that you are all in our prayers!
