Summer Time Means Whiffle Ball with Mr. Gronniger
Did you know that Mr. G began his illustrious education career as a phys ed (aka PE) teacher? And that he's not only a Table Tennis and 4-Square Aficionado, but he's also a Whiffle Baseball Guru too!
June 12-16: Morning Session, 8:30-11:30 a.m.
For students entering grades 1st-5th in 17/18
Have a great time with Mr. G playing whiffle baseball. We'll use plastic bats and balls, learn the rules and positions on the field, and develop the basic baseball skills of throwing, catching, hitting, fielding and base-running. We'll travel by school shuttle bus each morning to nearby Chesterfield Family Park where we'll have plenty of space to run, throw and hit those long home runs. We'll also incorporate the important ideas of sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork. Join in and have a blast!

E-Waste Collection: By March 30th
If the third graders can't use your small (or larger) electronics, we'll gladly take them as part of our e-waste collection!
Recycle your old electronic equipment securely! Missouri E-Waste will be picking up old/unwanted e-waste to recycle on March 30th, if any families would like to drop off their unwanted electronics. This is purely for your convenience and for secure data recycling since we are currently sorting through some of our old Summit equipment. The Summit will also receive a small amount of money based on each pound of electronics collected. For more information regarding what is considered "recyclable" use this link
(note:
CRT TVs can be recycled
but Missouri E-Waste will charge you $15 to recycle it).
