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.

Media Center Student Helpers
Fifth grade students can apply to be a Media Center helper. This typically runs quarterly and takes place from 7:00 am to 7:25 am each morning during Early Morning Checkout Time. Duties include preparing books to be shelved, straightening books on shelves and making sure books are in good order, helping students find books and helping with the check-in process.
Any questions, please ask Meredith Rodrigues.

- Plant Lifecycle and Seed Saving lessons
- Produce donation
- Spring Salad Garden
- Sweet Potato Pull

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.
For additional information, please contact the Student Council sponsor, Mr. Devin Floyd.
