Comfort Creature Pet Therapy Visit

Thank you to Comfort Creature Pet Therapy and their volunteers who accompanied Franklin, Daisy, Bear and George this week. Your visit was a highlight of the week for 2nd thru 5th grade students who really appreciate you sharing your pets.

Thank You Summit Public Art

Summit Public Art was gracious enough to volunteer their services to come and teach the second graders an art lesson. They learned about the organization and they're involved in modifying spaces within the summit community. Following the lesson, they completed their own projects. Take a look to see the students' "replicas" of a summit art installment, which can be seen at the bus shelter in town.

IMPORTANT: Please Respect Church Property & Crosswalk Safety

We’ve been kindly asked by the pastor at Calvary Church to remind our community not to cut through the church’s private property, specifically the area between the Victorian homes at 39 and 41 Woodland. This area is currently undergoing landscape renovations and is an active work zone, posing safety risks and liability concerns.

Additionally, once the landscaping is complete, foot traffic would damage the new plantings — and we want to be good neighbors and preserve the positive relationship we have with the church, including continued use of their lot.

Also, a friendly reminder not to park on or block the crosswalk. This has been an ongoing issue and creates a serious safety concern for our students and families walking to and from school.

Thank you for your cooperation!
