In December, our boys basketball team won the USCAL championship game!
We were able to provide funds for 18 children this holiday season with our student council penny wars fundraiser.
Our student council decorated a tree for the Festival of Trees this year. It was bid on and sold very quickly.

Our Junior high out-scored all surrounding schools on RISE EOY including North Star who we have never surpassed.
We have A LOT going on this month with literacy and student connections:
Writing Contest concluded
Reading Contest the entire month (Very Hungry Caterpillar theme)
Spelling Bees
Fly-Up day (students meet teachers in the next grade who do a fun activity with them including preschool and Kindergarten; Bluffdale 6th grade comes over and this year we had our counselor and Dean go talk to the high school's student council who will be coming to run a fun grade wars assembly and Q&A)
Paw Pals (creating and meeting student buddies across all grades)
One of our teacher Friday teams has created two events this month for staff: a workout from one of our teacher's who did that previously at a gym and an acts of kindness week (staff for staff). You are welcome to come and work out with us; let me know and we will send you the link to sign-up.

This year's Spanish Christmas program was put on by the 1st and 2nd grade immersion students. They sang and danced and had memorized their Spanish speaking parts. We are so proud of the hard work that the students and their teachers are doing. It's a wonderful experience to bring in a different culture for all of the school to experience.
We also held our traditional holiday sing-a-long. Every grade prepared a holiday song to perform. We put up a lighted Christmas tree in the gym, dimed the lights and the students sat around the tree and sang. The students do such a good job cheering and supporting each other. It's fun to watch them really own the culture in our school.
In January, we held our White Ribbon Week which focuses on internet safety. Our theme is 'I have the power.' Students learn that they have the power to turn off hurtful images and get help from adults when they see something that makes them uncomfortable. We have mini-lessons in the classroom everyday as well as lunchroom activities that focus on internet safety.
Summit Academy High School
Congratulations to Charlise Matsuda on being the first wrestler from Summit Academy to ever be selected as a Utah All-Star. The Ross Brunson Utah All-Star Dual, which honors the best male and female wrestlers in the state of Utah, will be held at the UCCU Center on UVU campus on January 10th.
1,400 girls are wrestling in the state of Utah this year, and Charlise was selected as one of only 48 female wrestlers to participate in the All-Star Dual. We congratulate Charlise on this prestigious recognition and achievement.
45% of our students are on the 2nd term honor roll. Our students are beginning to receive their college acceptance letters. One student, Sarah Park, received an almost full ride scholarship to Boston College.
Our boys' basketball team attended a tournament in CA over the Christmas break, Showcase of Shoemaker Invitational' and won first place. Two students are receiving offers from La Verne university, whose coach met with them at the tournament. Our boys team is currently ranked #5 by Deseret News right now. This is the first time SAHS boys' basketball has ever been ranked by Deseret News.
