PAWPRINT Mark your calendars!
  • Coffee with the Director -- Monday, September 9 at 8:30 a.m.
  • Back to School Night -- Thursday, September 12 from 7 to 9 p.m.  There will be a special "pre-meeting" regarding college activities for 11th & 12th graders from 6 to 7 p.m.  Please take this opportunity to "walk" through your student's Summit schedule and meet their teachers.
PAWPRINT Lunch Servers Needed! To speed up the lunch serving process, we are asking for ONE volunteer each day to serve lunch.  If you can spare an hour a week on a regular basis, or want to just volunteer every once in a while, please sign up to help us.  It's a fast and furious hour of schlepping veggies or fruit...but it's an important job that we need!  Sign up by clicking on the link, or cutting and pasting it into your browser!  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0949AEAC2AA75-lunch
