Students from Summit Middle School have been practicing since October in hopes of making the team and advancing to the State Competition. We have been meeting after school every other Monday from October thru December and every Monday since then. The hard work paid off! We want to congratulate the following students who advanced to the State Competition at DMACC on March 25th: David Shi (12th place), Kovidh Talluri (19th place), Derek Brown (32nd place), Abbie Tu (52ndplace), and Shanmukh Vallabhajosyula (54th place). There were 90 students attending out of hundreds from around the state that participated in the Math Counts competition this year. WAY TO GO!!!

GARDEN CLUB

Garden Club will meet Thursday after school.

Summit Garden Club is seeking gently used garden tools and supplies.

Last gardening season, the Summit Garden Club was able to donate over 600 pounds of fresh produce to the Johnston Partnership.  Students are seeking to beat that amount this year, but we need your help!  We are seeking donations of gently used gardening tools and supplies.

Items might include garden rakes, weeders, shovels, trowels, spades, pitchforks, cultivators, etc.  If your home is looking to replace your used tools and/or you are looking to make space in your storage, we would gladly take any unused/unwanted garden supplies off your hands.  Please contact Allison Barlow at allison.barlow@johnston.k12.ia.us if you have any questions.  Donations can be brought to the front office.

It was a very close Championship Game, but Harry Potter took the title of “Summit’s Favorite Book” this year!  Thank you to everyone that voted!

April Contest

April showers bring May flowers!  Can you guess how many umbrellas are in this container?  Record your guess here or in the library with your iPad.

Featured Book of the Week
