Dear Eagle Families,
We always have a lot to celebrate at Summerside but this week we have A LOT TO CELEBRATE! Mrs. Vicario, our Discover teacher, traveled with two fifth-grade students and a team from Amelia Elementary to Columbus to present at the Ohio School Boards Association Student Achievement Fair. This fair showcases exemplary programs that improve student achievement. Our students did an outstanding job sharing how they are extending their learning in our Discover class each week, building their creative thinking, collaboration, and leadership skills while engaging in engineering and design tasks. You can ask your child about what they did in Discover class this week to build these skills too!
Ms. Lowe, our assistant principal, and Mrs. Havran, an intervention specialist, represented Summerside's Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) team at a multi-countywide showcase. Our PBIS team works to refine our overall proactive approach to teach students expected behaviors in all areas of our school and reinforce with Eagle Eyes when students are showing those expected behaviors. You can ask your student if their class has earned a Golden Eagle eye recently for classroom community reinforcement too.
See below for a surprise celebration of Mrs. Hardy, our music teacher, Channel 12 News' Teacher of the Week next week! Mr. Adam Clements and the Channel 12 News Team surprised Mrs. Hardy when she was teaching Mr. Wilson's third-grade class. Mr. Moore, our P.E. teacher nominated her for this honor!
Our PTO has been hard at work getting ready for our annual walk-a-thon, the Summerstride Eagle Quest! Students have raised more than $12,000 already, helping us cross the Summerside Mountains which led to a popcorn party for the whole school on Friday! All donations are due this coming Monday, 11/20 and the Summerstride fun will take place on Tuesday, 11/21. See below for ways to volunteer and more insight about the PTO's largest fundraiser of the school year!
We hope all have a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with family and friends and time to rest and relax! We are certainly thankful for you, your children, and our collective commitment to excellence with every learner, every day, every way.!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe
