Dear Parents,
We are happy to announce that we will have our Fall Middle School Retreat on Thursday, November 3rd. The theme of this retreat is “Who Do You Say That I Am?” Through the various talks and activities, we wish to provide our students the opportunity to grow deeper in their personal friendship with Christ and with each other.
The retreat will be led by the Legionaries and Consecrated, Miss Maher, and the middle school teachers
We are very grateful to Our Lady of the Woods parish for allowing us to use their facilities. We ask that you please assist us in transporting your child to the retreat. Please drop your child off at the main door of the OLW Church at 8:00 am or after you drop off your other children at Everest. We ask that you please pick up your child from Our Lady of the Woods at 1:30 pm, also at the main door of the church.
This will be a casual dress day, jeans are permissible. Please keep in mind that we will be having Mass during the retreat, so we ask you to ensure that your children dress appropriately.
Also, please have your child bring $5 to school by Wednesday, November 2nd to cover the cost of snack and lunch, which will be provided.
If you have any questions, please contact Miss Maher.
Sincerely in Christ,
Brother Dustin, Miss Sonia Baldwin, and Miss Maher

Dear Families,
I hope that Fall 2011 is off to a good start for all of you! Here at Everest Academy, it definitely is, and our Admissions and Marketing team has been busy. To give you a brief update on the activities of the past few months: Everest has been present at the Heritage Fest in Lemont, the Homer Glen Community Expo, the Lemont Keepataw Day Parade, the Baby Expo in Oak Lawn, and most recently, the Southside Preschool & Elementary School Fair. We have been holding weekly open houses (Wednesday mornings) and have had a few families stop in to learn more about Everest and tour the campus. This next month we will be hosting a “Realtor Brunch” for local realtors to come and learn about Everest, since the realtor luncheon held last May was so successful! Also, I cannot forget to mention the hard work and dedication of the Marketing “core team”, consisting of some Everest parents who have generously offered their time and talent to help us with our marketing efforts. We will have a marketing analysis and strategy completed within the next month, and then we will be ready to begin the Marketing Committee meetings, open to all interested parents.
I sincerely thank all of you for your prayers and support as we strive to promote Everest and reach more families. Last week students were sent home with some Everest promotional materials such as a car decal, matchbook flyers, and a yard sign. If you did not receive these for your family, please contact the office – we have plenty extra. Feel free to hand these out to family and friends, neighbors, or even leave them at local businesses! We have a lot in the office, so please don‟t hesitate to ask for more if you will use them. Thank you and have a great month!
Sincerely,
Heidi Matelich

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. I thought you would enjoy an excerpt from Saint Louis Marie de Montfort‟s “The Secret of the Rosary” to help us realize just how powerful the Rosary is.
God bless,
Fr. Matthew Kaderabek, LC
"It would hardly be possible for me to put into words how much Our Lady thinks of the Holy Rosary and of how she vastly prefers it to all other devotions…Our Lady blesses not only those who preach her Rosary, but she highly rewards all those who get others to say it by their example.
Alphonsus, King of Leon and Galicia, very much wanted all his servants to honor the Blessed Virgin by saying the Rosary. So he used to hang a large rosary on his belt and always wore it, but unfortunately never said it himself. Nevertheless his wearing it encouraged his courtiers to say the Rosary very devoutly.
One day the King fell seriously ill and when he was given up for dead he found himself, in a vision, before the judgement seat of Our Lord. Many devils were there accusing him of all the sins he had committed and Our Lord as Sovereign Judge was just about to condemn him to hell when Our Lady appeared to intercede for him. She called for a pair of scales and had his sins placed in one of the balances whereas she put the rosary that he had always worn on the other scale, together with all the Rosaries that had been said because of his example. It was found that the Rosaries weighed more than his sins.
Looking at him with great kindness Our Lady said: “As a reward for this little honor that you paid me in wearing my Rosary, I have obtained a great grace for you from my Son. Your life will be spared for a few more years. See that you spend these years wisely, and do penance.”
When the King regained consciousness he cried out: “Blessed be the Rosary of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, by which I have been delivered from eternal damnation!”
After he had recovered his health he spent the rest of his life in spreading devotion to the Holy Rosary and said it faithfully every day."

Dear Everest Academy Parents and Friends,
The school year is well underway at Everest Academy. I would like to start by welcoming all the returning families as well as the fifteen new families and the 20 new students to this school year at Everest Academy. I have enjoyed greeting the families each morning at drop off and it’s wonderful to see how the little ones transition from shyness to smiles and excitement to be with their new friends and teachers.
The progress reports indicate a fine start for our students. We thank you for your patience as the beginning of a new school year, the preparations, a primarily new staff and faculty, various new operational approaches do bring along with it certain challenges and adjustments for all involved. It has been over a month that our team has worked together. This time affirms for me great appreciation and confidence in each one of our faculty and staff members in providing our students the Integral Formation® we are striving for. I am very pleased with their generosity and dedication to do their upmost for our students. Everest Academy continues to work to strive higher - Semper Altius - in all areas of the educational program. With regard to academics, our teachers are taking part in professional development in the Excellence in Writing Program which is just as it is called: a method of teaching students to become excellent writers. This, as well as the explicit phonics program, will be the two main areas of attention for our professional development day to be held on October 7th. In November, we will be attending a technology in-service with the teachers of the Arch diocese of Chicago. All are steps to enhancing our academic program.
In addition, the Apostolic Service program has begun with the all-school level service projects. Change for Change allows us to continue the sponsorship of tuition for two children in a mission territory in Mexico. We also have a coat drive underway to help those closer to home. We thank you for encouraging your children to participate.
Growing in virtue is the basis of our educational program. This past month our students focused on what it takes to be a good friend; a simple point being that friends help one another to become better people.
This is another important year of growth and development in the success of Everest Academy. We are very blessed to have many of our parents who are very involved. The progress of the school would not be possible without the involvement and work of our families. We thank the technology committee and the Manna team who have raised the funds for the new technology to be introduced to our classrooms next month. Also, one of the newest team developments is the Marketing Committee headed by Diane Talbot-Wiggins. This team is making real headway in researching and developing a marketing plan that will launch Everest Academy to a new level in the surrounding communities, drawing more students and families to Everest.
We have already experienced the progress with the Parents Association led by our co-presidents, James and Renee Yep, and vice co-presidents, Daniel and Annette Waligora. Thanks to all of our parents who have volunteered to assist in so many areas and who continually give time and talents in unknown ways, all of which will allow us to fulfill our goals.
Please join us this month for many fine events: Harvest Fest, eye4style, our Poetry Contest and the great celebration of All Saints Day on November 1st. Please invite many friends and families to take part.
We keep all of our families and benefactors in our daily prayers and we as a faculty and staff count on your prayers as well. Thank you for being part of the Everest Academy community. God bless you!
Sincerely in Christ,
Christine Gamache
