Carline Update
THANK YOU to all of our amazing parents for your patience as we fine tuned our new carline procedures this week! Our time went down from 34 minutes and 11 seconds on Monday to 20 minutes and 22 seconds on Tuesday -- with more improvement to come!
If you have not received your yellow window signs for carline yet, please connect with your classroom teacher. If you need additional signs, please contact the Front Desk.
Thank you to Dan Person at Hard Hat Gear for donating more safety vests for our carline helpers!

MDC Visits Our Pollinator Garden
Ashley Schnake with the Missouri Department of Conservation stopped by The Summit on August 19th to check out the progress on our native plant pollinator garden. Thank you to all our parent and student volunteers who helped our new plants thrive over the long, hot summer!
The Summit's Native Garden Project, an initiative of the school's STEM Task Force, received a $10,500 grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation's Community Conservation Grant, which "promotes urban wildlife habitat improvement, encourages organizational partnerships for land stewardship, and supports the training of partner staff to manage natural landscapes." The grant, submitted by Summit parent/Board member and botanist, Dana Thomas, provides funding for the habitat improvements being made by the project: the cost of plants, seeds, and mulch. The garden layout was designed by Summit 9th grader Ainsley L.
