Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 at SCS from 11am-3pm

Saturday, Oct 3rd, 2009, over 700 Summit family members/friends enjoyed themselves on our campus at the Family Fun Picnic.  With all of the inflatables inside this year, it was a “cool place” for the kids to hang out and play while the parents had a great time of fellowship.  Did you know that it only takes 29 seconds to drink a pudding cup with a straw?  Just ask alumnus Iris Torres as she showed everyone how it’s done in our Game Zone.  Thank you to The Crompton Family for donating the hamburgers and hot dogs and to Delicci’s Catering for cooking them as well as providing all the condiments.  Also a big thank you to the Publix in Boynton Beach for donating the buns.  We had plenty of food thanks to our families, who outdid themselves on the pot luck side dishes. 

We also would like to thank the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office for bring out the K-9 and Mounted Police Units for our families to learn more about as well as the Solid Waste Authority for providing us with useful information on recycling and the different programs they offer.

The Chili Cook-Off was a huge success!  The participants had a great time enticing the tasters to vote for their chili.  In the end, Phil Robinson, Aaron Atkins-Rivers and Kadeem Robinson repeated last year's victory for the “Golden Ladle” with their “Father & Son’s Value Chili” creation.  The “Silver Ladle” went to Chris Baylor/Harriett Baylor for their “Texas Style Chili” and the “Bronze Ladle” went to Alfonso Scott for his “Havana Chili”. Thanks to all who participated. 

Thank you to the School Board Members for their help sponsoring this event and a big thank you to the PTF Board Members as well as all the other volunteers who helped make this event run smoothly.

Below are some fun photos of this years' Family Fun Day
