Being new to Summit County, a para educator job at Silver Summit Elementary is juts what Mrs. Owens needed. "I have love, loved, LOVED being a para! I love learning and asking questions to learn. I also love to read! Give me a good book and I am happy." Besides being parents to four children, Michelle and her husband just became first-time grandparents. Although they're new to the area, they think it's great. Michelle has enjoyed utilizing her creativity and crafting skills while she's putting her new house together. They were settled in their previous home, after living in it for 20 years. We're glad you're part of the South Summit family, Mrs. Owens.

March 9 agenda
Mrs. Cook has been doing social work her whole life. It's kind of who she is. Although she's only been getting paid to do for the past few years, after she went back to school to earn her master's degree. (It's never too late, kids!) "I have always been someone who has a soft place in my heart for the underdog- the person sitting alone, feeling rejected, or misunderstood, she says. "Social work feels like the way for me to help those who may not have had the same opportunities as others, for whatever reason. It feels rewarding to offer help to students who may have or are experiencing traumatic events and challenges and to be able to offer healing and support. " Speaking of dogs, Mrs. Cook has two: Moe, the goldendoodle who looks more like an irish setter and Ford who is known by name at the after-hours emergency vet due to his sneaky Halloween candy eating antics. Besides her furry family, Kelly loves her husband and four children. All of whom are in Utah now after living in the San Francisco area for 20 years. As a family they love to do all the outside things like hike, bike and ski. She wants the community to know that we have awesome kids in the district! "They are kind, humble, willing to face hard things, and are making the world a better place through their hard work and compassion. " We want Mrs. Cook to know that we are lucky to have her in the District. She is such a great addition to our team and a great advocate for our students. Happy School Social Work Week! #WeAreSouthSummit #SSWeek2023 #WeRise2023

Celebrating our Presidents today.

Presidents Day
His life story is one he's trying to teach kids not to live. Our new School Resource Officer, Detective Eric Baker dropped out of school, moved out, got a job and found himself living paycheck to paycheck. It wasn't what he wanted in life and he knew he could do better. He joined the military and spent 10 years serving our country before he finally ventured into the career of his dreams: law enforcement. Det. Baker shares his message with students because he wants them to stay in school and not do things the hard way like he did. He loves kids and is happy in his new role. Ultimately his message to students is to work hard, set goals and accomplish them little by little until you get to where you want to be. #nationalschoolresourceofficerday #wearesouthsummit
