We're excited to announce that our fall school book fair is back, October 19th-23rd. The kids are excited! Please plan to join us. We'd love to have any help you can give.

Sign up to volunteer today!

Visit our school book fair web page: Where you can set up e-wallets for your students so you don't have to send them with cash, preview books that will be in the fair, and you can even pre-order some of the new books that are going to be popular! (Think DogMan and Wimpy Kid)

Please be aware that the book fair will be closed on Thursday night so you can enjoy STEM night with your family, and then we have NEW hours open the next morning at 8:00 am until 9:30 am! See you at the fair!

Meet Mrs. Handley, our new DOSA (Dean of Student Achievement). She will be with us at Summerwind on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Here is a little bit about her:

Mrs. Handley was born and raised in Idaho and has dedicated the past 15 years to education as a school counselor, supporting students and families while helping create positive school communities. Throughout her career, she has worked at Linder Elementary School and Barbara Morgan STEM Academy and had the exciting opportunity to help open Willow Creek Elementary School. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, ages 15, 13, and 11, supporting them in all of their activities and adventures. She is so excited to join the Summerwind team this year and is looking forward to working with everyone to support the students and families of Summerwind.

When you see her, make sure to say hello!
