Everest Families and Friends are invited to celebrate

the Feast of Christ the King


Mark your calendars now for November's Family Fun Night which will be held in conjunction with activities related to celebrating the Feast of Christ the King. 

The celebration of the solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King at the end of the liturgical year is like a symphony which celebrates, in its entirety, the mystery of God. Since this annual feast is celebrated on the last Sunday of the church year, one may think of it as a beautiful family New Year's Eve Party (the following Sunday begins Advent, which is the beginning of the church year). 

We hope that families and friends of Everest Academy will be able to join us for this very special Family Fun Night event

Sunday, November  | Feast of Christ the King 

Holy Name Cathedral | 730 N State Street Chicago, IL | 2:15pm
 You are invited to join us for Mass to celebrate this very special feast day and then head to...

US Cellular | 333 W. 35th Street Chicago, IL | 4:30-8:00pm
Enjoy an all-you-can-eat dinner buffet, dancing, fun activities for the kids, and football on the big screen at the home of the Chicago White Sox.



Did you know?

The Feast of Christ the King was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God out of man's thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. The feast is intended to proclaim in a striking and effective manner Christ's royalty over individuals, families, society, governments, and nations.  Read more about this special day

In last week's annual Student Council Dress the Pumpkin Contest, students worked together in teams to come up with very creative pumpkins.

Parents had the opportunity to vote for the Best Dressed Pumpkin

Everest AND our community!


Dear Everest Parents:

It’s an exciting time to be involved on this brand new committee, Everest Around Town!  We have made great strides as a new committee, not only in the research that the team has compiled, but taking the time to sift through the many opportunities, to find the ones that make the most sense for our Everest community.    You will receive monthly, this “Everest Around Town Update” to not only see how past features are going, but to introduce a new monthly feature.   

Please see below October’s Feature:  eScrip & Dominick’s.    This one is a clear cut, easy way to contribute to Everest through your regular grocery shopping.  And it only takes one minute to fill out the registration form.  (Click on the Everest Around Town homepage link below to access the form.)  We do the rest for you!  (If you have already done so, thank you!  I probably caught you at Harvest Fest!)

We hope you take a minute to read this month's update and keep informed of the many opportunities being offered to our school families and friends.

Thank you and God Bless,

Renee Yep
EAPA Treasurer &
Everest Around Town Team Leader
