The students set up tables and chairs for their Oktoberfest Arts Festival and the annual Sportsman Fest. They also set up trash cans and assisted with clean-up between events.

Some positive encouragement for our Summit Academy Knights Football team. ❤️🏈🏈💙 Keep you heads up boys,,,,it not the “W’s” that define a team, but how you face adversity. Every year we start with a new group of kids that have little experience and field a team that competes in the WPIAL Conference. This year is the 1st team since 2019 to take the field since COVID.

FOOTBALL SEASON IS UPON US After missing the 2020 football season due to the pandemic, the Summit Knights are nearly ready to kick off the 2021 season. After weeks of conditioning and practice, Summit opened the season with a scrimmage against Riverside on August 21st. Many of our first-time players took this opportunity to practice new skills and plays against a live opponent. The team is now preparing for their season opener against Avonworth on Friday, August 27th at 7:00pm. Let’s go Knights!

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS BUILD CHARACTER Summit Academy students recently participated in a community service project with Freeport Renaissance Association. This community-based organization strives to make the local business district more aesthetically appealing, improve the riverfront area, restore historic buildings and develop a community center. Our young men provided landscaping services, including mulching, weeding flower beds and trimming trees. Everyone was pleased with the outcome of their hard work. #givingbackfeelsgood
