The Public Class is an annual school event serving several purposes: for the parent, it demonstrates their child’s academic achievement, as well has human formation; for the student, it provides an opportunity to synthesize concepts learned in each subject class, as well as present themselves in a public forum in a mature and professional manner. Because the event is held at the end of the academic school year, the preparation and presentation of the Public Class serves as a practical and engaging means for reviewing and communicating the intellectual, as well as human, aspects of the year’s curriculum.

All students who participated in Public Class worked very had and did a great job!

At Everest Academy, we have a very special Mass to honor our mothers, including our spiritual mother, Mary.

Living Rosary & Ice Cream Social at Everest!

Here at Everest, it is annual tradition to have a Living Rosary at the beginning of May. On Sunday, families and friends gathered to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. The local Knights of Columbus enhanced the ceremony with their presence and participation.

Together, everyone prayed the rosary on the Everest Football Field, then crowned Our Lady at her grotto. The day concluded with an ice cream social! Thank you to everyone who was involved with this wonderful afternoon!  Click the pictures below to view them.

Pi Day!

The number pi (3.14159….) is usually celebrated on March 14th. It is the ratio of a circles circumference to the diameter. The middle school celebrated on Friday March 16th instead. The party consisted of fun math activites and of course eating pie. Sixth grade decorated a t-shirt with five facts about the number pi and read the story Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi. Seventh grade decorated a paper plate with five facts about the number pi (two of which had to be the area and circumference of the plate) and made a visual representaion of the number pi in the form of a quilt. Eighth grade designed an ad for a pi product and measured pies. All classes enjoyed singing the pi song. A good time was had by all.

Emily Hample is an 8th grader here at Everest Academy. She has celebrated the number with Mrs. Roberts for the past three years. This is what she had to say about her last pi-day at Everest Academy, “It was the best one yet!”

Another 8th grader Isa Fernandez said, “I loved how everyone brought in pie to share and eat while we learned more about the number.” She is one of our international students and this was her first pi day celebration ever.
