Help Everest Collegiate High School Student Receive a Scholarship!

Our own Everest Collegiate student, Patrick Nalepa, is trying to receive a scholarship by organizing a blood drive, read his letter below to see how you can help!

I am Patrick Nalepa and I am trying to receive a scholarship by helping to organize a blood drive. The drive takes place right across the street from Everest in Clintonwood Park at the Senior Center from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on this coming Friday, July 30. However, I will only receive the scholarship if I get enough pints of blood and it is for this reason I need as many people to sign-up as possible. To sign-up please email me at patoman7@comcast.net with a desired time between 2 and 8pm and a phone number (which is necessary for me to sign you up) or call me at 248-625-6735. There are also 2 Cedar Point tickets available to be won if you give blood on Friday. I will be at the blood drive all day, so I hope to see you there.

Thank you so much for all your support!

Father/Daughter Camping Trip

From left to right: Dr. David Allard, Maddie Allard, Emily Eicher, Dave Eicher, Danusia Teklinski, John Teklinski,
Mary Grace Schmid and Gerard Schmid.

From June 17-19, the girls and dads hiked 22 miles on the North Country Trail/Manistee River loop. With only what they carried on their backs, they set off into the woods to enjoy fabulous weather, food cooked over an open fire (including Jiffy Pop popcorn) and all wonder created by God. On the second leg of the trip they were joined by Olivia and Paul Cloutier.

About the trail: Established in 1980, The North Country National Scenic Trail stretches more that 4,600 miles from eastern New York to western North Dakota, is administered by the National Park Service but, maintained primarily by volunteers. The trail passes though the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan (both the upper and lower peninsulas), Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. There are 9 people known to have hiked, or biked, the trail from end to end; with the first woman set to complete the trail in August of this year.

If you have a cool summer trip to share, please send pictures to Chelsea Niemiec: cniemiec@everestacademy.org. She will post them right here on the blog for all Everest families to enjoy!

Our Own Teacher/School Photographer is Published!!

Most of you know Marek Dziekonski or Mr. D (as the students refer to him)…he’s our school photographer and high school computer teacher. But what you don’t know is he’s now a published photographer!

The book Marek’s photos are published in is called “Wedding Photography: A Guide to Posing”and is published by Oliver-Cameron Publishing (out of UK). The photographers published in this book are some of the leading names in the industry: David Beckstead, Yervant, Chenin Boutwell, Chuck Arlund, Michael O’Neill, Andrena Douglass and Quin Cheung. The book is being distributed mostly in the European Union and the USA, but is also available across the world.

They have printed nine of Marek’s images in the book (see below). We are so lucky to have such a talented photographer/designer teaching at Everest and taking our students’ pictures on a regular basis. To see more of Marek’s work visit his website: www.marekd.com

Congrats, Mr. D! Everyone at Everest is very proud of you!

Kindergarten Owl Pellet Experiment

Miss Gallagher’s class performed a VERY exciting experiment, dissecting owl pellets! They each received their own owl pellet and tried to find the bones of hidden inside. They all learned a lot and had a lot of fun at the same time!
