FROM THE LIBRARY

Welcome to the Summit Library.  You can use the Summit Library website to find the card catalog and other useful information.  On your ipads, students have a shortcut to the catalog so they can place holds and manage their accounts.

Featured Book of the Week

Fans of The Inheritance Games might want to check out book one of a spin off series called The Grandest Game.  It’s full of mystery, puzzles to solve and some drama!

GARDEN CLUB

The Summit Middle School Garden Club has a mission of making a difference in our community while providing students the opportunity to connect, have fun, and learn gardening skills!  So far this gardening season, we have provided over 350 pounds of produce to the Johnston Partnership and our garden is not done yet!

Students get to experience all layers of gardening from bed prepping, weeding, watering, harvesting, etc. In the winter months we have done donation drives for the Partnership, started seeds and planned our garden for spring, and celebrated teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week– we stay busy all year long!

We meet Thursdays from 2:50-3:30 in Mission Room 129. All 6th and 7th graders are welcome, and no gardening experience is necessary!  Come with shoes and clothes that can get dirty.

Questions?!  Please contact Allison Barlow via ParentSquare or at allison.barlow@johnston.k12.ia.us.

Please follow our journey on our SMS Garden Club Facebook Page!
