Summerland Patrons, the school would like more responses for the strategic planning survey. Currently there are less than 100 completed surveys. Mr. Finke can be found in the commons/concession stand area at Friday night's basketball games and will have a table in the main hallway on Monday night of the Christmas concerts. If you have not completed the questionnaire, please consider giving the district 5-10 minutes of your time and answer the survey. I will be on hand to answer any questions you have about the survey. If you aren’t able to make it out to one of these events, flyers are still up in the communities that you can take a picture of the QR code. Thank you for your time in helping shape the future of Summerland Public School.
A successful day at our competition, those medaling were:
Zander Tabbert - 1st - Mouse Trap Distance
Millie Shrader - 1st - Pin Design
