Morning Ceremony

The Morning Ceremony has been a Value Schools tradition for many years, helping to form the unique nurturing environments on our campuses. Each morning, the school gathers the entire student body, from Kindergarten through 8thgrade, for the Pledge of Allegiance and a recitation of the 5 core values. The morning ceremony is led by a different classroom every week, and the students must plan performances and activities for each day with their teacher.  

After the Values recitation, there is a moment for staff, students, and parents to share a message with the group. Sometimes there is an announcement of an event or school-wide project; other times it might be some words of wisdom or musical performance. The idea is for the community to share time together and allow our older students to role model for our younger ones.  A few weeks into the school year, every student will likely know the names of all the staff and teachers in the Everest Family, and our most likely our outspoken 8th graders.
