Middle School Students of the 3rd Quarter

Jessica Bailey

Garrett Seegers
Middle School Teacher of the 3rd Quarter

Mr. Chris Baylor teaches computers as a subject, but his passion is to impact students.  He is an example of the kind of teacher that uses his classroom to make a difference in the lives of young people.  He also has a vision for the technology program, and desires to bring opportunities for students to participate in more technology, computer, and robotics activities.  He is a tremendous blessing to Summit Christian School.

Rachel Lowdermilk

Andrew Burns
High School Teacher of the 3rd Quarter

Mrs. Ashlei Furtado is recognized by the students in her history classes as challenging, yet fun.  As the Social Sciences Department Chair, she has helped to establish a standard of excellence in those classes.  She loves Summit, she loves the students, and she invests fully in their education!  Her desire is to be more than a history teacher; rather, it is a desire to be a tool that helps to establish Summit Christian School as a model of Christian education.

Monice Receives 2008 Pathfinders Community Service Award

Sabine Monice has completed over 500 community service hours, many with the American Red Cross. She began in 2004 as a chapter aid. Her leadership abilities led to her being trained by the Red Cross in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and chosen chapter chair of the 2006-2007 prestigious Youth Council. In this capacity, Sabine was charged with fundraising and awareness for the Measles and Malaria Campaign, raising $2,300 in one month. She was reelected IHL chair for 2007-2008 and has put together a PowerPoint presentation to teach students about IHL and the Red Cross in other countries. Sabine also serves on the chapter’s board of directors as a youth member, and volunteers for her church.

The Pathfinder High School Scholarship Awards are presented each year to those high school seniors in Palm Beach and Martin counties who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in 18 academic, vocational and athletic categories. Pathfinders is sponsored by Palm  Beach Newspapers, Inc. publisher of The Palm Beach Post, Palm Beach Daily News, Florida Pennysaver and La Palma. These awards are presented each year to recognize excellence and to encourage these students to one day bring their considerable talents to the communities where each received a start on the path to a good education and a rewarding career.

College scholarships of $3,000 for the first place winner, $2,000 for the second-place winner, $1,500 for the third-place winner and $1,000 to the fourth-place winner in each category will be presented at a ceremony which was held Monday, April 28, 2008 at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach. Top winners in each category will also receive the special "astrolabe" trophy, a symbol for the path each student may follow in the world and the leadership an direction each may provide for others in the future.


Megan McCloud and Casey Ho Join Prestigious
Youth Leadership Palm Beach County

Summit Christian School is proud to announce this year’s selections for Youth Leadership Palm Beach County, Megan McCloud and Casey Ho.  This dynamic county-wide leadership development program spans seven-months and is open each year to only 45 High School Juniors.  Students are selected according to their outstanding leadership potential and community mindedness. 

Casey Ho and Megan McCloudLeadership Palm Beach County, Inc., is an educational 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization designed to foster awareness of community issues and promote efficient communication and cooperative relationships between existing and emerging community leaders.  The Youth program targets teens who have already demonstrated leadership ability and desire to further develop their skills for future roles as community leaders.  

Both Megan and Casey are thrilled to have been chosen to represent our school this year.  After hearing the details of the program, Casey felt “privileged to be part of this program and excited about the places we’ll get to go to and the experiences we’ll be having”.  Megan said it’s “awesome to be representing Summit Christian School and is looking forward to getting to see a lot of the things that people don’t really get to see and growing as a leader”. 

Casey and Megan attended the Ropes Course Retreat at FAU and really enjoyed meeting students from other local schools.  The experience focused teamwork and bonding.  Both Casey and Megan felt that “during the course everyone learned to care for each other and work together, regardless of backgrounds or the schools that the other people came from”.   

We are really looking forward to the influence that this pair of young Summit Christian School leaders will have on their peers when they complete this training.

Summit Middle School Teacher Mr. Wade Gill presented "Best Teacher Award"

Mr. Gill, winner of "Best Teacher Award" with Victoria LarkCongratulations to Mr. Wade Gill for receiving Dr. Lundsford’s Orthodontic Office’s “best teacher award”.  Mr. Gill was nominated by Victoria Lark, a 7th grade student from Summit Christian School. 

The opportunity to nominate Mr. Gill arose while Victoria was sitting in the waiting room of Dr. Lundsford’s office.  She noticed the contest application form and immediately thought of her favorite teacher, Mr. Gill.  “Mr. Gill is a great educator.  Even if a kid is having a tough time, he gets with them and sits down with them and spends time working with them.  And, when they’re going through a rough time or just having a bad day, her encourages and guides them.  He’ll stop someone if they look upset and is always someone you can talk to”, explained Victoria.  

Victoria first came to know of Mr. Gill’s compassion for kids, when she was a 5th grader from another school and her brother was in Mr. Gill’s 8th grade class.  The 8th graders were having a party and Victoria, a 5th grader was invited by Mr. Gill to join her brother at the class party.   She said, “I thought it was really cool to be included and it made me feel really happy”.

Now, Victoria is able to see her favorite teacher every day, as she in Mr. Gill’s 3rd hour Bible class.  And, Mr. Gill is the happy recipient of a $100.00 award from Dr. Lundsford’s office.   Thank you, Dr. Lundsford for creating a wonderful way to recognize outstanding teachers.  Way to go Mr. Gill!

McMaster, Trindade Selected for Kravis Artscholars Program  Summit Junior Brittany McMaster and Senior Melea Trindade were selected to the Artscholars program at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.  This program gives high school students who have a strong interest in the performing arts greater insight into their particular discipline by attending dinner discussions with special guest speakers and personally meeting distinguished artists who perform on the Kravis Center’s stages.

Brittany and Melea attended dinner at The Cellar in City Place with a Shakespearean expert and director from Florida Atlantic University.  Later, they saw a performance of Julius Caesar by the Aquila Theatre Company at the Rinker Playhouse.  After the show they met with the actors for an informal discussion of their performance.

Big Time Restaurant Group generously donates a full dining experience for the students, while The Myron and Natalie Stone Ticketing Fund, established in memory of Myron Stone, provides students tickets to performances.

Brittany and Melea were two of six students selected from among arts students countywide.  The other students were from Dreyfoos School of the Arts and G-Star Charter School.

Congratulations to Brittany McMaster and Melea Trindade!
