Our Annual Benefit is only TWO WEEKS away!
We look forward to celebrating the greatness that is growing in our children and in our school community thanks to the generosity of so many families and friends of Everest and by the grace of God.
The Annual Benefit is an opportunity to give—by attending the dinner, your ticket value allows you to make a generous contribution to a cause very dear to our hearts: our children. As you enjoy a memorable evening with family and friends, you also receive the joy of knowing you are helping Everest fulfill our mission of educating well-rounded Christian leaders.
The venue chosen for this year provides a perfect inspirational backdrop for our theme of “Growing Greatness.” We hope you will attend and invite guests to our annual benefit. The Morton Arboretum is an experience all on its own, where guests will enjoy world-class service in a beautifully landscaped, natural setting.
Please join us!

DANCE FOR DURANGO
RAISES MONEY FOR MEXICO MISSIONS
We successfully raised nearly $1000 to go towards the Nuevo Durango Mission! Thank
you to our Parents' Association and Student
Council for organizing the event, to the students for finding dance sponsors and to all the parents who volunteered at the event. All of this
hard work and the money we were able to raise will mean so much to those
families and children of Mexico who are less fortunate than us.
It was a
time for all Everest families to test their cowboy strength by
practicing their lassoing, bull-riding, and of course, their fun dance
moves! No one has seen such impressive lassoing since John Wayne! Thank you to the Brizuela family for bringing the "spring bull" and lassos, as many of our students,
missionaries, and even some parents were able to test their talents to
see if they had what it takes to be a true bull rider and
cowboy/cowgirl.
VIRTUE CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Congratulations to the 3rd/4th grade class who won February's virtue campaign!
Great job building up your treasures in Heaven!
The virtue for the March campaign is Modesty through Human Formation.
In this Lenten season it is a very important time to reflect on yourself and to be even better ambassadors of Christ. This month, the students are encouraged to make that extra step every morning to love Jesus by representing Him not only through their actions but also through their clothing. Wearing the complete uniform, getting a new haircut, and always appearing well put together are simple ways that we can all represent Jesus and everything that He means in our lives.
Everest Day for Dad
As we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph, we also honor our fathers,
praying that they be richly blessed by God for all they do!

For more information, please feel free to contact our RCMC Girls:
With the help of our K4J Program,
this month our students will be learning about the virtue of
MODESTY
The virtue of MODESTY helps us know what to share with others, and what to keep to ourselves.
We respect others when we respect their privacy, too.
Our Lady of Knock
The potato crops in Ireland had failed for many years. The people had their Catholic faith, but even so it was hard to keep up hope when they were so hungry. Many Catholics were even promised food if they would give up their faith! They prayed to Mary, Cause of Hope, for help.
One
summer evening in 1879 it was raining in Knock, Ireland. Suddenly,
Mary, St Joseph, and the Apostle St John, appeared in a blaze of light
outside the Church of St. John the Baptist! Behind them, near St. John,
were a cross and a lamb on top of an altar. Adoring angels were all
around. Mary was praying and raising her hands toward heaven. St.
Joseph was preaching, dressed like a bishop. The people watching this
amazing sight were drenched with rain but the ground under the image
was dry! The people stood watching and praying the rosary for two hours
as the scene continued. They were strengthened in hope and in love. It
was as if they had been invited into the home of Mary - she had lived
first with St. Joseph, her husband, then in the home of St. John, the
son Jesus gave to her when he was dying on the cross.
Our Lady of Knock, please bring me into your home.
Help me to learn to be modest and share my love with others the way you did!
