Law Day Essay Contest: Six of the 15 finalists are Summit students. 108 essays were received. Those Summit finalists are:

Wyatt Wistrom
To prepare for the Law Day poster contest, Judge Nancy Rahmeyer, chief judge on the Southern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals, visited the fourth grade classroom to talk about the contest theme, Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society. She explained why expressing one's opinion is free speech, but threats and inciting violence are not. She also gave examples of well known cases of individuals (Colin Kaepernick, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Hart) exercising their right of free speech. While their words and actions were not illegal, they each had negative consequences for their actions. As she left, Judge Rahmeyer commented that the fourth grade class was a smart bunch of students!
