Parents’ Association Newsletter
Dear Parents,
Welcome to all Summit families! The 2012-13 year is off to a fabulous start. We are so excited to be joined by Triad Academy and we welcome new teachers, staff as well as many new families! The Parents’ Association is looking forward to meeting you and having your valuable help and input at school. Studies have shown that students do better in school if their families participate in school volunteer activities! We have an amazing group of parents who can be seen helping in the library, the classrooms, the gardens, the School Store and many more places. It never ceases to amaze me to see where parents are helping! You make my job so much easier by committing to volunteering in so many ways. I know the children, faculty and staff appreciate your M AR support by helping make Summit the warm, strong community it is Summit School today!
