Thank you to everyone who attended our SPOTluck this past Friday!  It was a wonderful evening of community building and we are so grateful that so many families joined us to kick the weekend off!  A big shout out to Sandra Cheung, Ana Tovar, and Stacy Guthmann for coordinating an awesome event!  And thank you to everyone who prepared a dish to share!

Laurel Naylor, an 11th grader at Summit Prep, was recently featured in an article published on "e.Moos" about her Intersession experience at Hidden Villa.  Check out Laurel at this link here: bit.ly/1im6a6P.

With the first semester nearing its end, we would like to encourage our students to embrace the "habits of success" that will help them finish the 2013 year strongly.  Each day, our students are challenged to persist through a rigorous, college-prep program  We are so proud of how many of our students continue to accept the Summit Prep challenge, and seek appropriate help from teachers, mentors, and peers to improve studying and learning strategies.  Even with setbacks, our students continue to find opportunities to improve their learning by reviewing resources, meeting with teachers during office hours, revising projects, retaking content assessments, and creating peer study groups to support one another.

With just a few short weeks left, let's use these "habits of success" to support a strong finish to 2013!
