Upper School Film Fest

For middle and high school students, the last few days of the semester were filled with workshopping, story-boarding, script-writing, filming, editing, problem-solving, and film-producing. Film Fest, a Summit tradition and the final project of first semester, is a wonderful opportunity to practice 21st century learning skills through project-based learning. Students work together in small groups to write a script, storyboard, design costumes, film, edit, do retakes, and complete a film. They practice collaboration, problem-solving, and group work, and teachers will be available to help facilitate positive communication as needed. This year's theme was "purpose." Students created unique stories around this topic. You can view all video submission through the YouTube link below.

As part of their supply and demand studies, Summit fourth graders prepared and hosted a Market Day on campus. Students created individual businesses, took out a "loan" from the school to buy supplies for their products, created their products and priced them for sale, and finally used advertising techniques to showcase and sell their products to students and families. There must be some amazing entrepreneurs in this group, because they were able to pay back their loan to the school and profit $409.13! The class voted to donate their earnings to #TeamSeas, an organization that removes trash from the oceans.
