Happy Monday!

Only two days of school this week and then we break for Thanksgiving! It's a time for family, friends, food, and reflection on all of the things we are thankful for. On the topic of giving thanks, thank you all members of our Summit community for everything you do in support of our students!
This week in Forensic Science, students extracted DNA from a strawberry using the DNA extraction solution they created in the lab. Strawberries are octoploids; meaning they have 8 pairs of chromosomes. Read more in the latest High School Highlights here >>>
K-5 Holiday Camp

December 30-31, 2019 | January 2-3, 2020
9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
*** 2-DAY & 4-DAY OPTIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ***
Now through December 11, we are collecting donations of mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, socks and other cold weather gear to donate to St. Vincent de Paul's Shelter.

A Christmas tree will be set up outside the library after Thanksgiving, and students will hang mittens on it as they are donated to show the progress we are making as a school each day. Collection boxes are in each hallway for daily contributions. Please consider donating to this worthwhile cause!
Swap closet
THANK YOU to Katie Fountain and Lacy Ran for cleaning up our swap closet recently. It was no small task due to the overflow of clothing donations. Excess clothing was donated to the Family Resources center at Byck Elementary - they were very grateful!

NOTE: We have decided to phase out the year-round swap closet as we move into the second half of the school year. In its place, we are planning a uniform exchange - details to come later in the school year.
Poinsettia sale
Our PTO will be offering poinsettias for sale through Deibel Greenhouses again this year. These are beautiful potted poinsettias offered in a variety of sizes and colors and they make great gifts! Look for information coming home with students in the next week.

Contact the PTO at pto@summit-academy.org with any questions.
Have a great week!
