Mountaineer Challenge Week - Apostolic Formation

Everest students develop a heart of an apostle sensitive to the needs of others. While students can't leave home, they can continue to share Gospel joy and love from far away. Wednesday's Mountaineer Challenge was focused on apostolic formation. Students have been sharing joy, sending cards, and helping out with siblings and parents at home.

Elementary students were invited today to make cards for residents at Lourdes Nursing Home. The cards, once sanitized, will be delivered to residents to bring joy.

Rudy made the residents a card!

Anthony and Madeline McGrath and Lola Gjonaj all made cards to mail to grandparents.

Junior Michael McGrath reached out to the school counselor whose husband is deployed to see if she needed anything. She returned home to all her leaves in her yard neatly cleaned up. Nice work, Michael!
