I walked by Mrs. Yost's room Monday morning and hear her tell the class, "during science today we are going to pretend to be geologists!" The class cheered! Here they are learning about minerals on Monday.

One of my favorite Summitview events is Mrs. Slick's Veteran's Day program. We are all disappointed that we couldn't have that event this year. Please enjoy these pictures of our learners expressing their gratitude to the many veterans as well as active duty service men and women who are part of our school community. We are grateful for your service to our country and our community!

A few announcements and reminders as we enter Week 11!
*Please have your child wear PATRIOTIC COLORS tomorrow, Tuesday, 11/10, in honor of Veteran's Day this Friday. Our Summitview family includes many veterans and active-duty service members. We are so thankful for your service!
*This Friday, November 13, will be our second Student Council spirit day this month. It is Sports Day!
*Reminders for those who drop their child off via car in the morning:
Please pull all the way up, past the flag pole to the tree by the end of the building, when dropping off your child. Doing so allows several cars to unload at the same time. Adults should remain in their cars in order to keep traffic moving. If your child needs assistance with his/her car seat or seat belt, please park in the side parking lot and walk your child to the building.
*There is no school for learners on Wednesday, November 11 in remembrance of Veteran's Day.
*Wednesday, November 25 is a Remote Learning Day. Learners will have 1/2 day of work to complete in their Google Classrooms.
*There will be no school for learners Thursday, November 26 through Tuesday, December 1 for Thanksgiving Break.
