Summit third graders and their families celebrated an "udderly" engaging yearlong learning experience Monday evening at the Chick-Fil-A restaurant (8598 Beechmont Ave). As contest winners in Summit Elementary's Walk-a-thon, these students enjoyed the company of a new classmate all year long- the plush Chick-Fil-A mascot. Each student in Mrs. Wilhelm's class invited the cow home for a weekend throughout the school year. The students worked with the cow to create a diary page of their shared experiences. The completed diary was shared with parents during a dinner hosted by Chuck Perkins, the restaurant's owner. Students & families were welcomed by decorated doors, tables, colored balloons, and complimentary gifts-- and were "moo"ved by Chick-fil-A's generosity and hospitality.

The Forest Hills 5K might be one for the history books, but the Summit Running Club for 2013 will live in the memory of many for years to come.

Summit celebrated Right to Read Week, May 6-10.  The teachers decorated their doors to promote our theme "Readers are Leaders."   Activities included  classroom read-ins, daily trivia reading questions, and guest readers in the media center.  It was a fun-filled week!  Thanks to all who participated.

Meet the surfer gURLs- in their own words, group of  "smart, elegant, and wise working"  third-graders who created a website for their Summit third grade peers. Together, they met after school and formed the enrichment club: 3Wdots. The members of 3Wdots are Isabelle, Bella, Haley, Taylin, Kennedy, Kathryn, Ashley, and Alison. Their web design process included researching and selecting content, design, and promoting the site.
