Mr. White's class visits the Ojai Meadows Preserve

Last week the 4th/ 5th & 6th graders rode the bus down to the Ojai Meadows Preserve to participate in a program hosted by Once Upon a Watershed. Students planted acorns, explored an oak forest, including exploring decomposing branches, spotting wildlife and naming the peaks of the Ojai Valley.
Here are some pics.

Sign Up with ESCRIP

Escrip is probably the easiest way that you can help support our PTO. 
It is a program that has been around for decades helping schools raise money.
You register with your Vons club card, and you can choose to add your credit cards, and every time you "swipe" them Summit gets a percentage of the total purchase. 

With your help it can bring in several thousand dollars every year. There is also a requirement that part of the money we earn be spent on healthy & fitness related programs. It is really a win-win program. 

 CLICK HERE to go to our page with details about how to register. 

***IMPORTANT:  The sooner you register the sooner your purchases will be earning $$$$ for Summit. ***

Thanks a bunch. 
If you have any questions please call Kim at 805-727-1393

"Let It Snow" Family Fun Night, Thursday, Jan. 26

Come one Come all.

All Summit Families are invited to a wonderful Family Fun Night called "Let It Snow".
This event is hosted by the PTO and is free for all Summit Family Members. 

Happy New Year! Are you registered with Escrips yet?

Welcome back Summit Families!
As we adjust back to our regular school schedule I wanted to take this time to remind you about what may be THE single easiest way to raise money for our PTO. Escrips. This is a national program where various stores participate through their "club card" system. You just register your club card (for example your Vons card) and everytime you swip it Summit PTO earns $$$$. When we ask family & friends to register and name Summit School on their escrip account it can add up fast.

Remember your PTO pays for instructional aids, ART TREK, field trips, and many of the other so called "extra" items that students count on.

Please take a few minutes to register on escrips to support Summit.

How to register:
1. Have your club card number handy.
2. CLICK HERE to go to the Escrips site to register.  and Follow the easy directions. 

Summits info: # 137 835 550
Summit School Parent Teacher Organization

3. Invite your family and friends to register and name Summit. Grandparents LOVE escrips. 

Our next PTO Meeting is 6:30pm, WEDNESDAY, January 18th
AND
Our next Family Fun Night is Thursday, January 26th in the evening. This will be a free fun family event. Stay tuned for details.
