The Summit Academy Book Club has selected to read "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton for their first book of 2020. The students will read chapters together and then discuss the story of two groups of teenagers whose bitter rivalry stems from socioeconomic differences. Ultimately, the characters come to realize that the differences in social class do not necessarily mean they have to be enemies. We look forward to hearing feedback and opinions of the book from the group's participants.

Members of the Summit Academy wrestling team recently volunteered at the Powerade Wrestling Tournament at Canon-McMillan High school! These young men worked the tournament tables and videotaped for Flowrestling! In addition to contributing their time and talents at the event, the students got to watch some awesome wrestling over the course of the weekend.

Great staff are our most valuable resource!! #Uknighted
