What's Happening at Everest This Week?

• Antiwane Ellis, a business student here at Everest, passed away from health complications on October 27. To honor his memory and to help his family with funeral costs, we will be accepting donations through the Student Store and the store will be donating all of its profits this week to the Antiwane Ellis Memorial Fund.



• Food Drive. We are ramping up the food drive by starting a class-by-class challenge. Starting tomorrow and going through November 21, we will have each class track its donations and we will create a Wall of Food in the cross hallway by L12 and the testing room. Tracking forms will be provided for each class and a scale will be in the break room for weighing donations. Let’s stuff the student pantry, collect items for our Christmas turkey dinners, and make a great donation to Care & Share. The two classes with the most donations will earn a pizza party the week after Thanksgiving!



• This week we are collecting bags of items for the student swap. Items include clothing, toys, and books. Contributions will be collected this week and the chance to “shop” will start next week. Anyone who donates this week gets priority shopping on Monday and Tuesday next week. The shop will be in L1/2 and shopping hours will be 9:30 – 10:30 a.m, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m and 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Staff contributions are welcomed!



• In late November, we will start collecting names of students who could use some help putting a Christmas dinner on the table. Application forms will be distributed and students may submit their names. Turkeys and a bag of groceries will be provided to selected students the week before Christmas.
