Summitview Elementary School

Fifth graders enjoyed their trip to Renfrew last week!

Today was a monumental day for WASD! The ribbon cutting ceremony of the Early Learning Center & Wellness Convenience Care were held with an audience of district staff, community members, and partners. The Early Learning Center supports the district and state P3 initiative & Wellness Convenience Care offers preventative and illness treatment for district learners and families.

As part of their social studies unit, third grade learned about the voting process today from SV grandparent and WASD Board Member Mrs. Bonnie Bachtell!
