Upcoming Events

• Next Monday, we will have pie (pumpkin, apple, cherry) for students – and faculty and staff, of course!


• The food drive is still ongoing. Please keep track of your class’s contributions. Once weighed (in the student lounge by the store), canned goods can be added to the wall of food in the hallway by PC5. Any other food can be put in the box in the student lounge.

• L1/2 have been set up for the student swap. If you have students who contributed, they can shop on Tuesday. Starting Wednesday, any student can come in between 2 and 6 and take up to 10 items at a time. We will have Ambassadors staffing the room.

• We’re still looking for coats for the coat drive, so check your closets!!

• Anyone interested in a 5k Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day? It is a fund-raiser to support the YMCA and cost is $23 per person. Though it is an individual event, if there’s enough interest, we could look at T-shirts or something fun to create an Everest team presence. Please let me know.

• Saturday, December 1 is movie night. We will be showing a family Christmas movie (TBD) on the “big screen” in L1/2 and inviting staff, students, and their families to come watch. We will offer popcorn and drinks. (No, not adult drinks!)

• Wednesday, December 5 is cocoa and hot cider day. We will be serving in the student lounge.

• We are going to have a cube and office decorating contest for staff – prize is still to be determined! Beginning Monday, December 3, you may start with the decorations for your area. Judging is tentatively scheduled for the week of the 10th – I will keep you informed!

• There will be a school program decorating contest, also. Each program (MA, Dental, CJ, CIS, etc.) will be assigned one classroom to decorate. Prize on this is also TBD.

• We would also like to do cookies for the students on December 19, and of course, the best cookies are the home-made ones. If each staff member brings in 2 – 3 dozen cookies, we will have enough to share with students and staff. I will have a sign-up sheet in the faculty lounge in early December for staff to sign up to bring cookies in.

• We’ll be starting the Biggest Loser Program in January. Cost will be $1 per week per person (10 weeks total) and an additional $1 per week if part of a team. Total proceeds will be split among the winners. Please let me know if you’re interested in participating.
