Everest Academy is sponsored by Everest Family Ministry in the Birmingham Metro Area. We offer freedom along with quality resources, information, activities and support to those homeschooling in Alabama. We believe that the parent has the best interests of their children at heart. We believe that the parent is the first and only teacher that a child needs. In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off cover school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children. We ask only for what the law requires while offering support along with quality resources to aid families in their efforts.

FREE FOR ALL SALE!
We need your help.  Join us on Thursday July 19 for a Store Wide sale. We have been busy clearing out old materials to make room for all the “new” used books we have been getting in lately. Our free area has grown into quite a mass of books and we want your help to get it under control again.

We will give you a discount (between 1 and 25%) on purchases that day based on the number of books you remove for us: So if you take 5 free books, we will give you a 5% discount, 10 books=10% off,  25 books or more =25% off.

We will also be open extended hours that day so you can take advantage of this sale from 10 am – 7 pm.

WRITERS’ CLUB, Thursday, August 9
Our next get together at CLC for writers is Thursday, August 9.  The official time is from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Plan to come for any portion of that time that works for you.  Bring your laptops, your latest project and idea(s), or just your questions.

The idea is to encourage each other, ask questions, get feedback, etc. If we meet once a month (or so) it will give us deadlines to aim for, for our next goals, and we all know how important deadlines are! (I know I make them and move them on a regular basis!)

As usual, an email (cmmjaime@alum.mit.edu) letting me know you’re planning to attend would be great, so that we know how many folks to expect!

CLASSES
Please see the website for fall classes.  Most will start the week after Labor Day this year.
***
HOURS
Throughout the summer our hours will continue to be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. (The next time we plan to be closed during those times is the week of Labor Day.) If those times absolutely don’t work for you, pop me an email, and we’ll see if we can arrange another time to meet you there.

Have a great weekend.
