Principal's Message

Dear Everest Academy Parents and Friends,

Congratulations to our students, faculty, staff and parents for the completion of the first quarter. A lot has already taken place in this opening part of the school year due to your participation, help and support. Everest Academy parents are so generously involved in our school.  We are very grateful for the ongoing parental participation in all of the activities. We believe we have a healthy and vibrant school community, offering an academically challenging program as well as place where our students will flourish as Christian leaders day by day and where families can come together in support and  in friendship with one another.

This past month we enjoyed another fun-filled and happy Harvest Fest. Many thanks to Annette Waligora, Renee Yep, Cindy O'Malley, Jenny Duffy and their team who made this event a wonderful time for all. The eye4style is always a fine evening out for the ladies and time to get together. Thank you to our admissions team and parent association for another successful event.

We all enjoyed the presentations at the 1st annual Everest Academy Poetry Contest. Congratulations to our winners. There was some serious and challenging competition. A number of students presented 14 stanza poems. Each finalist gave their best and were very impressive. 

I do want to thank you for your participation in the Annual Fund. Each year, parents, parents of alumni, faculty, staff and friends are asked to support Everest Academy through a gift to the Everest Annual Fund.  The school counts on re-occurring annual gifts to maintain our rich tradition of excellence as it funds updates to technology, strengthens academic and extracurricular programs, provides for tuition assistance, and, most importantly, closes the gap between tuition and expenses for all our students. The goal for the 2011-2012 Annual Fund Campaign is to raise $50,000 and a new initiative this year is to achieve 100% participation from our families, faculty and staff before the close of the Campaign on May 30, 2011. This strong participation is critical in demonstrating a broad base of support when we seek funding from foundations and corporations, and especially our own benefactors! Again each tax-deductible gift, no matter the size, brings us that much closer to realizing both of these goals.

We look forward to seeing all of you at Grandparents Day this month. The students are preparing and we are looking forward to this special time with our Grandparents. If Grandparents cannot be present please do not miss the opportunity to invite close friends of the family to join us.

Thank you very much for choosing Everest Academy as the school for your children.


Your families are in my daily prayers.


God bless you,


Sincerely in Christ,

Christine Gamache
