Summer has just started, but we already miss these smiling faces!

"We had so much fun…got wet, got muddy, found some critters…in general, had a great time!"
We hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and enjoying the great outdoors!

Welcome Back to Camp Raven! |
|
It's the first week of Camp Raven, and we're off to a fun, fantastic start!
Students are practicing thinking outside the box as they decipher puzzles, riddles, and brain teasers in Mrs. Yarnell's Puzzle Solvers camp. And what better way to enjoy summer than by connecting with friends while playing a variety of games together? Students are playing old favorites and discovering new games, too, with Mrs. Yarnell in Games Galore camp. There are card games, board games, paper/pencil games, playground games, online games, and campers are even creating their own board games to play at home!
But that's not all the fun... Junior campers are diving into an underwater adventure learning all about sea life in Commotion in the Ocean with Mrs. Raven! Campers are engaged in activities that help them understand why Earth is referred to as the “water planet” by learning about the Earth’s oceans and sea creatures and how they are an essential part of our global ecosystem.
We're just getting started this summer! There's plenty more sunshine and smiles to come! Join us by clicking the link below to register for Camp Raven today!

ACT Prep Begins at The Summit |
|
This summer, The Summit is offering a
6-week ACT Prep course for high school students led by veteran educator and experienced ACT coach, Mr. Paul Madar. The course filled soon after registration opened, and students have begun preparing for the ACT with focused instruction on each section of the test and addressing test anxiety related concerns with strategies to help prepare students for test day.
We are thrilled to offer this support to our students over the summer and look forward to welcoming Mr. Madar back to The Summit this fall as our long-term mathematics substitute while Mrs. Cook is away on maternity leave. For more information on Mr. Madar's experience, credentials, and test preparation and coaching services, please visit his website at www.paulmadar.com.
Paul Madar brings a diverse background of studies and experience including biological sciences, alternative health, business, cognitive sciences, humanities, nonprofit development, music, and comparative religions. He worked with an independent school for 19 years, teaching, lecturing, and giving radio and television interviews in many cities throughout the Midwest. Paul continues to work as an ACT coach for English, Grammar, Writing, Math, Sciences, and Reading Comprehension and as an online coach in academics and cognitive science (specializing in focus, concentration, and intuition).
