Save the Date: Parent Education 

On Monday, October 24th, The Summit will be hosting a viewing of the webinar Thrivers: What Really Helps Kids Find Happiness Today and Success Tomorrow at 2:00 pm in the Music Room on campus. This webinar, presented by the Independent School Association of the Central States (ISACS) features Michele Borba, Educational Psychologist and Author. 

All Summit families are invited to attend the viewing from 2:00-3:00 pm and stay for discussion until carline at 3:30 pm. More information, including an RSVP link, coming soon.

See below for a summary of Dr. Borba's presentation:. Data shows that today’s youth are the loneliest, most stressed, and risk-averse on record. Though well-educated, they are failing to launch in real life. So how can we teach them to be mentally strong and more successful? Borba empowers both educators and parents to help kids thrive in today’s fast-paced, digital-driven, often uncertain world. Through her research, she found that the difference between those who struggle and those who succeed comes down to the personal traits that set Thrivers apart and set them up for happiness, as well as greater potential later in life. She offers practical, actionable ways to develop these Thrivers traits for kids and shows you how to teach your children to cope today, so they can flourish tomorrow in school and life. These are lessons that will last a lifetime.

The Wheels on Mr. Mike's Bus Go Round and Round

Summit Early Learners had the best day ever on Friday! The classes are learning about Community Helpers around school and on Friday they learned all about what Mr. Mike does at The Summit, including driving The Summit shuttle bus. The Early Learners loaded up and buckled in for a trip around the parking lot on the shuttle bus. They marveled at the playground from the parking lot and enjoyed singing "The Wheels on Mr. Mike's bus go round and round!" The students cannot wait until they're in Kindergarten and can go on field trips in The Summit shuttle bus!
