This year we will be introducing you to the staff This year we will be introducing you to the staff at Summit in our weekly Summit Spotlights. This week we spotlight Larisa Bickel. What is your position/title at Summit? I'm the Director of Business & Operations, which means I am in charge of fundraising and enrollment. I was originally hired as Summit's full-time in-house sub and tutor. I started Summit's summer camps years ago, and have also served as tutor manager and special events manager. How long have you been at Summit? This is my 23rd year at Summit, and I was at McLeod Academy for 4 1/2 years prior. What is your favorite thing about Summit? The people! I love our students, families and staff! I have formed so many meaningful relationships over the years through Summit. What is one thing that you’re good at that might surprise other people? I really like woodworking and doing things with my hands, which is coming in handy as we demo my parents house due to the derecho damage. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Guacamole! What is your favorite holiday? Christmas! I love all the extra time with my family. What is something on your bucket list? I would love to be a campsite host at one of our beautiful national parks for a summer. What is your favorite family tradition? We love spending our summer weekends on our houseboat on the Mississippi River, enjoying our time together and the beauty around us. What is your favorite binge-worthy TV show? Grey's Anatomy. What is your favorite quote? "Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good." - Minor Myers Jr. Do you have a hobby or what do you like to do in your free time? I love going to my boys' activities that they are involved in, taking walks, going on bike rides, camping, traveling, spending time in the national parks, visiting with family, working on home improvement projects, doing yard work, reading a good book, doing yoga, baking, helping others.
MUY BUENO: Foreign language is such an important p MUY BUENO: Foreign language is such an important part of an education at Summit, and all PreK-8th grade students take Spanish class. This Summit middle schooler had the chance to “teach” the class today, almost completely in Spanish. Senora Andrea knows how to keep Spanish fun and engaging for the students. Sra. Andrea assigned special jobs to Pod 3 including notetakers to create quizzes for the class, counters who track the number of times the teacher uses the 'sentence of the day,' and English police who buzz the teacher if she speaks over 15 seconds in English. #summitschoolscr #espanol #foreignlanguage #learningisfun

Summit's first graders are paleontologists explori Summit's first graders are paleontologists exploring dinosaurs this month. Students made vests with badges on the back and wore hard hats for safety! These young paleontologists dug out bones, glued them in their journals, and drew pictures of their findings. Then students created their own fossils (dinosaur tracks in salt dough). Summit makes learning fun! #summitschoolscr #youngpaleontologists
