ALL OF MR SCHULTZ’S PE CLASSES WILL BE SWIMMING ON FRIDAY

NATIONAL SCHOOL BREAKFAST WEEK MARCH 2 – 6, 2020 

Thank you to Summit Middle School Breakfast Staff, Bernanda, Shannon and Fahira.  These folks are up early to prepare a variety of hot breakfast sandwiches, cereal and cereal bars, breakfast pastries and breakfast pizza which are served along with fresh fruit or juice and milk.  Over 100 breakfast meals are served each day at Summit.

Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast.  Studies show that students who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to:

Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math

Score higher on standardized tests

Have better concentration and memory

Be more alert

Maintain a healthy weight

Don’t forget to pick-up a breakfast that is “Out of This World” delicious and nutritious!  Doors open at 7:15 am.

FROM THE LIBRARY

Be sure to stop by the library and vote each day in the Book Madness tournament!  Yesterday we had a HUGE upset!  Diary of the Wimpy Kid series got taken down by Fuzzy Mud!  Didn’t see that coming!

Featured Book of the Week: Escape from Alcatraz –  Read this true account of 3 criminals and how they escaped from Alcatraz (a prison in the San Francisco Bay).  Did they survive or die in the icy waters?  The author presents facts that could make the case for either fate!
