Suspicious Package Investigated
ATTN: News, Community, Education and Religion Editors
Kim Stryker / Administrative Complex 561.686.8081x316 - January 7, 2008

Dear Summit Parents,

 

In order to continually provide the utmost safety for your children, a school-wide on-campus evacuation took place today.

 
Upon report of a suspicious object in what appeared to be a prank in a high school classroom, all measures were taken to insure that the suspicion was unfounded. The school contacted law enforcement immediately in accordance to our safety procedures. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office responded within minutes, surveyed the classroom and made the decision to evacuate all student to the back of the campus as a precaution.
 
As our entire staff has been trained in emergency procedures, implementation went smoothly and students performed the evacuation flawlessly. Office personnel provided additional assistance with the younger students. Everyone was instructed by law enforcement to stay off cell phones which could possibly interfere with police investigations, therefore, we apologize that we were unable to communicate with parents or the media while today's events transpired.
 
We are thankful for the beautiful weather and ample shade which allowed the children to spend the day in a picnic style atmosphere. Your children were safe and secure at all times. Only after the Sheriff's Department gave the "all clear" did we proceed to our classrooms.
 
All concerns have now been alleviated and school will resume as normal tomorrow, January 8, 2008. For further questions, please contact your school principal.
 
Summit Christian School would like to thank all law enforcement for their prompt and thorough handling of this situation. Many officers commented on how well our staff and students performed. Thank you to Publix Supermarket for their donation of emergency food and supplies for our students during this evacuation.

Summit Middle School Teacher Mr. Wade Gill presented "Best Teacher Award"   Megan McCloud and Casey Ho Join Prestigious Youth Leadership Palm Beach County

Congratulations 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!

 

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. 

Leadership 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”. 

Last weekend, 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.
