Everest Academy Annual Fund Drive 2012
Pledge now to achieve 100% participation!
The Annual Fund Drive
makes it possible for Everest Academy to continue the tradition of excellence
that began 16 years ago, through dedication, commitment, and sacrifice of
parents, families, and friends.
What? The Everest Academy Annual
Fund Drive supports the day-to-day operating costs of running our school.
Through your generous gift to the annual fund, we are all able to share in supporting
our mission and providing an exceptional education to our children.
Every contribution, whatever
the amount, plays an important role in helping Everest Academy to be one of
the best schools in the area. It is important to note that:
Tuition covers only
part of what it costs to educate a child at Everest Academy.
The difference of must
be made up through the generous contributions of our families, friends and
benefactors.
The success of the
Annual Fund Drive depends on the participation of the entire Everest Academy
community. It is essential for us to
have 100% parent, faculty and staff participation.
Why? When applying for grants and sponsorships,
many organizations request our participation rates. This helps show
benefactors that our families are committed. The higher our
participation rate, the more favorable we are to receive additional funding.
Where and When? For your convenience, pledges will be accepted at the front
door car line in the mornings this coming week November 30 – December 7th from
7:45-8:00 AM after you have dropped off your children at their regular door.
We give from the heart….and
give what we can.
Your gift makes
a difference!
Congratulations to the Boys Basketball Team
on your 1st win of the season!

Our K4J Holy Hero for the Month
St. Lawrence, Guardian of the Treasure of the Church
Deacon Lawrence worked with the pope in Rome hundreds of years ago. Deacon Lawrence
loved the poor very much. He gave them everything he had.
A greedy Roman governor loved money and thought that the Church might be hiding a great
treasure, so he ordered Deacon Lawrence to bring it to him. Deacon Lawrence asked for three days to collect it all.
Three days later Deacon Lawrence came before the
Roman governor with a great crowd of people –
all the poor, hungry, sick and suffering people he was
able to find. Deacon Lawrence said, “Here, sir, is the
great treasure of the Church!”
The Roman governor was furious and ordered Deacon
Lawrence to be taken away. He had wanted gold
and jewels, not poor people!
Deacon Lawrence LOVED the Church and he was not afraid. Jesus was verypleased with Deacon Lawrence’s bravery and love. Jesus welcomed Deacon Lawrence into
heaven where he was now...SAINT Lawrence!
heaven where he was now...SAINT Lawrence!
Jesus, help me to love all people as the treasure of the Church!
Here's a snapshot of what our students will be learning through the K4J Program this month:
