WELDING CERTIFICATIONS!!
Congratulations to the most recent Summit Academy students who earned their D1.1 flat plate welding certification! These young men are well on their way to acquiring the skills needed to open up a world of opportunity in the workforce.
Great job Logan B. (Franklin Co.), Gabe D (Monroe Co.), Kurt H. (Indiana Co.), Anthony K. (Somerset), Philip M. (Chester Co.), and Joey P. (Westmoreland Co.).
Exploring the Wonderful World of Wheels
Summit Academy students who are currently participating in our automotive-related trade class had the opportunity to attend the 2020 Pittsburgh International Auto Show at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The auto show featured some of the hottest vehicles on the market, exotic and luxury cars and classics! No doubt these boys enjoyed checking out how it felt behind the wheel of these cool rides.
PARTNERS IN HOPE & LOVE BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN SERVE
Once again, Summit Academy students volunteered with the Foster Love Project. The mission of this exceptional organization is to provide love in action to foster children, as well as support to the foster families who are providing care for them. Summit students Ismael C. (Franklin Co.) Lewis H. (Sacramento, CA), Marquise H. (Montgomery Co.), William K. (Blair Co.), Philip M. (Chester Co.,) and Demetrius M. (Westmoreland Co.) loaded several hundred bags of clothes and school supplies onto vans for delivery to the site.
Thanks to the Foster Love team for continuing their valuable work and including our young men in the effort!!!
“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN ACTION
Ms. Erin's chemistry class in incorporating STEM into her classroom through experiential learning. The first activity that the students worked on was creating boats from tin foil to see how many pennies could be supported! The winning boat was able to support 105 pennies!

AWESOME ALUMNI ALERT!
Summit alumni Zach G. has gone on to graduate from the Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville Florida. Zach was one of the first students at Summit Academy to earn an American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 flat plate welding certification. He currently holds two job offers and is deciding which one best fits his future plans!
So proud of this young man and we wish him all the best. We look forward to hearing great things from him in the future.
CREATIVE SCIENCE
Miss Marcella's biology students are learning about how fossils provide change in organisms over time. The students were asked to create an organism that they wish could have existed in history. Requirements for the project included naming the organism, drawing what it would have looked like alive, drawing it as a fossil, and identifying where it would have lived and its diet. They also had to give a short description of their organism.

Since the average annual snowfall in their hometowns is under three inches, Lewis H. (Sacramento, CA) and Nathan C. (El Paso, TX) were thrilled to enjoy a day of snow and sledding in western Pennsylvania. Growing through new experiences every day. #Uknighted
