Everest Academy "Stand for Dan" Fundraiser
The Student Council members at Everest Academy are sponsoring a fundraiser "Stand for Dan" to raise money for a Lemont boy who recently suffered a paralyzing injury while diving. The students have been selling T-shirts and wrist bands to support Dan, and have also written letters to him offering their encouragement and prayers. The late Pope John Paul II has been named the patron of Dan's hopes for a full recovery. Please visit the official website www.standfordan.com or contact the school for more information on how to help.

DUCK, DIVE, DODGE
FOR DONATIONS
Thursday Dec 15th
from 7-9pm @ Lemont Park District CORE
7th - 8th grade
students and Student Council have been asked to participate in the 2nd
annual “Duck, Dive, Dodge for Donations” on Thursday Dec 15th from
7-9pm @ Lemont Park District CORE:
Last year was the first competition of
ducking, diving, and dodging for donations for the Lemont Township Family
Assistance Fund and our Police, Fire, Village and High School teams had a ball
(literally) raising funds and collecting food for the Food Pantries. This
year it is open to every group, making it a round robin tournament. So
far there are commitments from the Lemont Police, Lemont Fire, the Village,
Lemont Junior Women’s Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Lemont
Park District, with more working on assembling their army. 10 persons per
team are allowed, 6 are on a court at a time, and the registration fee is $30
per team.
Please plan on bringing the family to come
watch these groups battle for a cause. Entry will be a $5 suggested
donation to the Lemont Township Family Assistance Fund and/or a bag of food for
the Lemont Food Pantries. See you there!

Student Council Members Come Forward
Would you like to run for student council? This is an exciting opportunity for students to share their leadership qualities. Student council works to lead our school as a charitable and dynamic place to be.
During the month of May students will campaign for an office in our student council. Students will be required to present a five minute speech describing improvements that they would like to make, qualities that they possess, and examples of that these. In essence, why should students vote for them? Students must decide by Monday, May 2nd, 2011, if they are choosing to run for office. During the week of May 2nd, they will have the opportunity to get their campaigns ready (make posters, buttons, stickers, etc.) During the weeks of May 9th and 16th students will actually carry out the campaigning (displaying their posters, flyers, etc.) On May 23rd, during our morning assembly, candidates will present their speeches. Immediately following, students from K-8 will vote for their candidate. The administration will count the ballots and winners will be announced that day at dismissal.
Duties include the following:
· President (8th grade) – Initiates and oversees all projects, is in charge of all meetings and student conduct during projects and activities. Must also provide a monthly update for bulletin.
