Final from Charger Field.

5-8th grade parents: Everest Middle School presents a Veterans Day program each year. As a part of that program, the school creates a slideshow that includes photos of Veterans from Everest Middle School Alumni, student and staff families. We are able to carry over the show each year, but want to add pictures from new students at EMS and any others that need to be added. You can send a digital copy to speerc@usd430.org. If you send a print copy with a student, we will scan it and return it that day. The deadline is Friday, October 30, 2026.
🧹💙 Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day! 🤍
Today, we celebrate the incredible custodians who keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming for students and staff every day. From the early mornings to the late nights, their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but their impact is felt throughout our entire school community.
Thank you for all you do to keep our Charger Family running smoothly. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙🤍

I spoke with Charlie Hutfles (Everest AD) this morning on the conditions at the golf course and with this latest round of rain we will have to cancel the CC meet schedule for tomorrow 10/1 at Mission Lake Golf Course. The risk of injury to a runner is too high and it does not look like the rain will let up until sometime tomorrow.
Unfortunately it does not look like we will be able to reschedule this and again I apologize.
