Summit STRONG is in Full Swing!

Summit STRONG Walkathon is Summit Elementary PTA’s only fundraiser. All money raised goes directly to enhance the students learning environment. The funds are used to provide enrichment activities for the students such as COSI on Wheels, field trips to the Cincinnati Zoo, Cincinnati Ballet and Cincinnati Museum Center. We also use the funds to provide technological needs for the teachers and students. All money raised goes directly back into the school to support the students and teachers.

Summit Reads Tutoring Program 2016-2017

In just a matter of weeks, the Summit Reads program will be underway!  Summit Reads is one of many intervention programs used at Summit to help students become better readers.  Summit Reads is a program that trains volunteers to work with children in a one-on-one setting during the school day.  At Summit, the program is open to students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade.  

Please give some thought to volunteering for this worthwhile program.  If you can read with children once or twice a week for 40-60 minutes, it could positively impact the student’s reading ability.  You can pick the day(s) and time(s) that work best for your schedule.  A short training session will be held on Monday, September 26th.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Summit’s Reading Specialist, Michale Sanker, at 513-474-2270 or email michalesanker@foresthills.edu.
Get your Spirit Wear! 
Spirit Wear is on sale through September 19th! Make sure you place your order before the deadline! Some great new styles are available this year, don't miss out!  

Room Parent and Party Helper Sign-Up

Summit Elementary PTA enhances student education and experiences through many activities and events. We also strive to support and show appreciation to the Summit Elementary staff in a variety of ways. The role of the room parent and/or helper allows you to have influence on all of the above. 

Room Parents: act on behalf of the homeroom teacher to coordinate class parties. They also assist with communications to parents on behalf of PTA. 

Party Helpers: work with the Room Parents and homeroom teacher to help out during parties with activities/crafts/food etc. 

Parties: 

  • Fall Parade/Fall Celebration Parties: Friday, October 28th from 2:30-3:30 (parade starts at 2:40) 
  • Winter Parties: Thursday, December 22nd from 2:40-3:30 

We will have a room parent kick-off meeting in early October to review information and to allow for Q&A. Watch the Beeline for the date and time! 

Thanks, 

Jaime Lanham (Room Parent Coordinator)
Submit Your Pictures for 6th Grade Video
School has only just started and already our 6th graders are excited about the activities that celebrate their last year at Summit! One of those celebrations is the 6th Grade Video and we need parent help to make it great. Please upload your pictures to the 6th grade Dropbox using the credentials below. If you have previously put pictures on the Google Drive or Snapfish, I will get those pictures moved over. Pictures can only be those that were taken at a school event; sports teams, dance recitals, etc that are not connected directly to Summit will not be included. The only exception is that we can accept first/last day of school pictures at the bus stop, in front of school, etc.; would be best if these photos were of only 6th grade students.

If you have any questions regarding the video, contact Amy Miller,  amymiller1724@gmail.com
