We are excited to announce that we are hosting our PreK 4 and Kindergarten Round Up on Wednesday, April 29th. If you have an incoming PreK4 or Kindergarten student, this event is for you. Or, if you have friends, neighbors, etc., who will have an incoming student in one of those grade levels, please share this information with them.
During the event, families will meet in the library, and we will introduce several staff members. Then, students will go with the teachers to do some fun activities while parents stay in the library and learn about "All Things Sommer" and take a brief campus tour.
There are three time slots available. Please register using the link below so that we can best plan for the event. You will get an email confirmation a few days prior to the event confirming your session time.
If you have a CURRENT student in PreK 4 AT SOMMER, you are welcome to join the event, but you may not need to. If you feel comfortable with the campus routines and procedures, you are not required to attend this event.
RRISD Enrollment/Registration is open, so we do ask that you have your child registered online with the district before attending. Lia Milost, our campus registrar, will be available that day to answer any questions regarding required/missing documents. Additionally, if you are seeking a transfer to Sommer, you are welcome to attend if you have submitted the transfer paperwork (even if it has not been approved yet).

🌟 STALLION STAR CELEBRATION: The Inflata-Run! 🌟
Our students have officially reached their goal, and the reward was nothing short of legendary! To celebrate earning enough Stallion Stars, our staff took to the field for a Fun Run like no other.
The competition was fierce (and very bouncy). Our inflatable athletes included:
The Unicorn: Pure magic on the track.
The Dinosaurs: A prehistoric powerhouse.
The Zebra: Sporting the fastest stripes in the district.
The Chameleon: We’re not sure if they won because they kept blending into the grass!
The Flamingo: Putting a whole new meaning to "running on one leg."
The Air Dancer: Bringing that chaotic, wavy energy to the finish line.
The Bunny: Giving "Fast and Furry-ous" a whole new meaning
The Shark: Managed to race alongside the flamingo without a single "shark attack." Now that’s what we call being respectful!
If you would like to watch the run, you can go to the uploaded video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/kP3uQuSYQpI
📖Librarian's Day is next Saturday, April 4th, but we will celebrate our ROCKSTAR librarian & librarian assistant on Thursday, April 2nd.📣The library is the heartbeat of a school, and we want to show these amazing ladies how much we appreciate them!!

💖If you would like to send in a special treat, please note their favorites:
Mrs. Bendlin's Favorites: the color blue, popcorn, chips, Torchy's, HEB, Barnes and Noble, and Dick's Sporting Goods
Mrs. Mensing's Favorites: the color orange, salty snacks, Starbucks, Torchy's, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble
Before we left for Spring Break, students had a chance to tape Ms. Elarms to the wall! This was a school-wide reward the students earned for having 90% of the students signed up on the Mybooster.com fundraising program.
Our Sommer Battle of the Bluebonnets team did an amazing job on Tuesday, competing against all the elementary schools in the district! They earned a spot in 2nd place by only missing 1 question. So impressive! We are proud of you!

Our library was buzzing this morning as 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students gathered for a special Bluebonnet Breakfast. This delicious celebration was a hard-earned reward for students who read at least 10 of the 20 Bluebonnet Award nominees this year.
Congratulations to all the students who rose to the challenge and turned so many pages! We are so proud of your dedication to reading.
