Fall Book Fair THANK YOU! We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to our students, parents, volunteers and Summitt Elementary teachers and staff for making our Fall Book Fair a success!  We exceeded our goals again this year.  We raised $4500 to use toward student enrichment and classroom materials through book fair sales.  We want to also let everyone know that this was a record year for All for Books donations – as you may know, the All for Books program is used to buy books for children that are unable to buy books for themselves.  Through the generous donations provided by our Summitt families, we raised over $400 to buy books for our students.  Thank you again for all you do!
