Principal’s Corner
This has certainly been an interesting stretch of weather. We did
have to cancel our Family Literacy Night this past Wednesday
due to the weather. Although we were not able to reschedule this for an evening, we did invite this presenter back on Friday
afternoon where he did a presentation for many of our K-2
students. I want to thank Mrs. Schneyer and Mrs. Schott for all
of their work in planning this event.
Most of our students in grades 3-5 have now completed their state testing and we celebrated that with an extra recess time
and some treats. Those students who were absent during testing
will be making up any missed tests this week. Testing results
won’t be available until next fall.
We have some staff who have announced their retirements effective at the end of this school year. Mrs. Cheryl Ward, our
PK4 teacher for many years and Mrs. Vicki Burritt, our Speech/
Language Teacher for many years are both retiring. I want to
thank them for their many years of service to our staff, students and families. Congratulations! We also want to wish Mrs.
Schott, Title I Teacher the best as she moves to Homer, Alaska
next year. Her husband will be working at the local hospital and
she will be teaching in an elementary school there.
It is the time of year I begin to think about scheduling students into classrooms for next school year. There are many
considerations while placing students into classrooms including
individual student needs, class composition and others. On
another page in this newsletter you will find our projected
staffing for next school year. Parents can make teacher requests in writing explaining why you feel your child is best suited to be
placed with a specific teacher. This request does not guarantee
placement but I will certainly consider it as I place students in
classrooms for next year. These written requests can be made by
letter or e-mail to me by May 2nd.

Mrs. Anderson’s class took the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors the morning after the recent April snow storm. The outdoor classroom area as well as the
trees were covered in a fresh blanket of snow. The early morning observation proved timely as the kids were able to see a fox up close and hear a woodpeck-er in a nearby tree. They were able to share the beauty of the frog pond area with our volunteers from the UW-L Football team! The class went back out
four days later for Earth Day and as the picture shows, the weather was very different, sunny and 73 degrees!
Summit Student Council News:
This Friday, April 27th is special in two ways:
It is SPORTS DAY!
Our April Fun Day is Sports Day. Students are encouraged to wear apparel in support
of their favorite sports team, or they may wear their own uniform or other gear from a
sport in which they participate themselves.
It is also Aluminum Recycling Day!
Aluminum cans can be dropped off by the Summit flagpole by 9am on April 27th.
Cans should be secured in plastic bags. All proceeds from recycling will be spent right
here at Summit to support our learning. Thanks for your support!
Celebrate Earth Week by bringing your aluminum to school

I would like to sincerely thank all the Summit families who came to celebrate Youth Art
Month at the Campbell Library on French Island. There was a huge attendance and sup-
port for our creative Summit students. I look forward to seeing smiling faces and excite-
ment each year. Your support and dedication to our visual arts program speaks loudly.
Continue to inspire, create and dream of the possibilities.
Artfully Yours,
Carissa Brudos
Mrs. Brudos Receives Award Congratulations goes out to Mrs. Brudos who was recent-ly named La Crosse County Library’s Public School Edu-cator of the Year. Mrs. Brudos held the spring art recep-tion at the Campbell location and as a result brought a very high volume of people through the library…more than 300 people attended. The art work our students produce, much of which is done with recycled materials, helps to make our school come alive. Mrs. Brudos also selects many pieces of student art each month, frames them and displays them in our school office. Students are very proud of their work hanging in the office for the month. Congratulations Mrs. Brudos and thanks for all you do!

and set calendar for next year
It’s almost time .. CHICKEN Q!
Mark your calendars.. our 2018 Chicken Q is Thursday May 3, 2018
The last day to turn in money collected and/or un sold tickets is Thursday
26th. PTO staff is available every morning in the lobby to collect money,
take un sold tickets, and to hand out more tickets. Please do not forget
the due date as student sales/prize cut off is April 26th.
Without this fund-raiser the PTO wouldn’t be able to sponsor many of the
field trips and extras we do today. We appreciate the effort each
family puts into this and are hoping for a record year!
************************************************************************
Walk to School… mark your calendars!
Walk to school has been off to a slow start due to the weather however
we are hoping it’s all past us now. Walk to school is every Thursday
through May 24th. Walkers meet at 7:15am and begin walking around
7:25/7:30.
There will also be a bike to school May 9th
************************************************************************
Milk Moola and Box Tops
Don’t forget we need your box tops and Milk lids (Kwik Trip only) Collection cans are
located upon entering the LMC. No donation is too small!
The PTO is proud to announce we have donated $1000 to the
student counsel.
Last school year the PTO purchased the water bottles (sold in the
school store) with the intent all money collected would be returned
to the PTO. There is no mark up on the water bottles sold, the price
is to cover ‘cost’.
Due to the success of this and last year’s fund raising we are now
able to donate this money.
The Summit Student Counsel is generous to the school and the PTO
wanted to help them continue!
