Coffee with Principal Friede on Friday
Come get acquainted with our awesome new principal, Mrs. Friede! Join us this Friday, Aug. 31 in the library at 7:45 am for our first monthly Coffee with the Principal. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
Got the time?
This section features volunteer opportunities with specific time estimates. Check here each week to see what’s needed. That way, if you “got the time,” you can help out regularly for 5 to 15 minutes, or for a couple hours on a one-time project.
-
If you are free 10:30 am to 11:30 am any day during the week, please consider helping out in the cafeteria. Pre-K and Kinder classes are still getting used to their lunchtime routines and need a little extra help.
-
If you have anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour, please stop by the teacher workroom to see who needs help. Several teachers have requests for laminating, cutting, and die-cutting. We need volunteers to help full those requests. Contact Karen Reyna ([email protected]) with questions.
Community Night at Jason’s Deli
Come out to Jason’s Deli (Arboretum location) on Wednesday, Sept. 5 from 5-8 pm and enjoy dinner with other Summitt families. Just tell them you’re with Summitt and a portion of the sales benefit the PTA.
Informational Meetings for Homeroom Parents
If you signed up to be a homeroom parent for your child’s classroom (or are considering it), please come to one of the informational meetings listed below. You only need to attend one of the meetings; they will cover the same content. Meetings will run 30-45 minutes.
