Five students built successful egg protectors in a recent egg drop contest held at Summit Academy. Students learned about potential and kinetic energy and the forces of gravity, drag and impact. They then worked to build an egg protector that would minimize impact and maximize drag which would allow their egg to survive a 16' fall. Only five of the eggs survived the fall. Pictured are Catherine Seubert, Nathan Wassmuth and Bianca Swanstrom working on their egg protectors. The winners with unbroken eggs were from left to right: Brayden Bagley, Joey Waters, Tommy Rose, Wyatt Crea and Ellie Lovetere. Photos by Summit Academy. 
Summit Academy students in 1st and 9th grade teamed up to plant tree seedlings on Cottonwood Butte to celebrate Arbor Day. Arbor day was last Friday, April 26th, and these students enjoyed the sunshine and perfect planting weather on April 24th. The trees were provided by Idaho Department of Lands. Thank you to Dave Luther from the Craigmont IDL office for making arrangements and thank to you Ben Baldwin, Kamiah IDL for assisting. The student were teamed up with adult volunteers for help plant the 150 trees. The students learned the correct way to plant a seedling, how to find the best micro environment for the young tree, and also how to identify trees. The top picture shows Dave Luther demonstrating proper techniques for planting. The bottom picture show the Summit students who assisted with tree planting.
