Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a program in which a team of twelve 4th and 5th grade students read a series of pre-selected books and participate in a team competition to answer questions about the books. Summerfield's Battle of the Books team competes against teams from other Guilford Country elementary schools in a day-long event that takes place in February or March. For more detailed information on this program, please visit the Media Center Group Page by clicking here: .

Battle of the Books is sponsored by Mrs. Karen Harris and Mrs. April Roberts.

The Energy Wise Club

The Energy Wise program is designed to educate schools and community alike about energy efficiency and conservation, and to promote energy efficient habits. In our third year, the Energy Wise Club consists of twenty fourth and fifth grade students who meet monthly after school. Members are selected through an application and written statement process. Summerfield’s Energy Wise Club is based on four principles of conserving energy: monitoring, awareness, education and assessment. The Energy Wise club understands that efficiency and conservation are key components of energy sustainability-the concept that each generation should meet its energy needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

Mrs. Kayla Hampton and the ACES Program sponsor the Energy Wise Club.

Kinder Spanish

Kinder Spanish is a fun program that introduces Spanish through music, graphics, sign language, acting skits and playing games. The program usually starts in January and runs for 12 weeks after school.. Check kinderspanish4k.org for more information and to register.

School Garden

Our goal at Summerfield is to support a three-season garden for students to tend, examine and use for life lessons. Students from classes at different grade levels have the opportunity to plant, water, weed, compost or observe nature in the garden. Some special activities using our garden include:

Butterfly and Ladybug releases

Nature Watch

Plant Lifecycle and Seed Saving lessons

Produce donation

Spring Salad Garden

Sweet Potato Pull

Pass the Pail composting

Vermicomposting

Healthy Vikings Taste Testing

Our school garden is sponsored by Summerfield PTA and is managed by Dr. Lisa Thomas and Dr. Julie Cooper.

StageLights Drama

Stagelights lessons are age appropriate and centered on fun. Students explore elements of the dramatic arts including characterization, improv, creative movement, puppetry, vocal technique, comedic timing, personal confidence and more! Contact stagelightstheater.com for more information.

Student Council

Early in the school year, teachers and students identify representatives for every classroom in 1st through 3rd grade. Students in 4th and 5th grades hold campaigns and elections for the position of Secretary, Vice-Chairperson and Chairperson (Chairperson is a 5th grade position only). Members of the student council assist with a number of service projects and spring fun days each year.
