Teachers looking for a book
If you have a copy of Deltora Quest (book one), Forests of Silence, please bring it to the office or give it to a fifth grade teacher. The fifth graders are reading this book and they’re looking for as many copies they can find.
Need help in Teacher workroom
The teachers are back at work this week and they have a lot of things planned for the school year. We need extra help in the teacher workroom this week, so come by and give our wonderful teachers time to prep their classrooms. Most of what they need is just basic stuff: copying paper, cutting, stapling, making signs, etc.
Collect Box Tops
Remember to save your Box Tops!! Every box top that Summitt collects is money for our great school. You can find box tops on items you buy at the grocery store every day: General Mills cereals, Ziploc bags, etc etc. Bring your box tops in ziploc bags of 50 box tops to the main office, labeled with your child’s name and classroom teacher. We made $1200 for Summitt last year, let’s see if we can break that record this year! If you have questions about box tops collecting, please contact Sarah Allen, box tops coordinator, at [email protected]. Happy clipping!!
AISD and Community Events
CASA Superhero Run
CASA Superhero Run will be on Sunday, September 13th at the Domain. The run is not just a fun event for families, it’s an easy way for kids of all ages to get involved with helping their community. We have all sorts of activities for people of all ages, from the 5K and Kids 1K to superhero costume contests, bounce houses, an obstacle course, special superhero guest appearances and more, all to help children in our community.CASA Superhero Run
The CASA Superhero Run is built around a simple idea: Every child needs a hero, but abused children need superheroes. And the thing that is so great about the CASA Superhero Run is that kids get to be that hero for other children and learn that it doesn’t take super powers to be able to make a big difference for people in need.
The CASA Superhero Run supports the CASA programs of Travis, Williamson, Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe & Hays Counties. CASA speaks up for children who’ve been abused or neglected by empowering our community to volunteer as advocates for them in the court system.
