HELLO FROM ADMISSIONS
Dear Everest Parents,

Happy Holy Week!
 
Thank you for spreading the word about the gift of Everest to your family and friends! We've had several families touring our building lately and it's exciting to see their enthusiasm for our school. Over Spring Break and Easter, please continue to let others know the many reasons you choose Everest for your child(ren) and let them know that a  few grade levels are extremely close to being filled for the 2016-2017 school year. 

If you have friends that are interested in Everest, please let them know to stop by soon so we can meet them, give them a tour and even begin the application process.
 
Don't forget our Referral Program. If you refer a new family to Everest, the new family will have the option of naming you (on their online application) as the one who brought them to Everest.  You could receive a $500 tuition discount for next year!   

Have a blessed Holy Week and a joy-filled Easter,
Erin
