Thanks to you!
· Thank you to all our Candy Land volunteers. We could not have provided such a large event without your help. Also, thank you to our wonderful Sommer Choirs. The music was beautiful!
· Thank you to everyone who donated toys and books to the Williamson County Brown Santa Program. It took two trips to deliver the items!

Spirit Event - New
January brings a new spirit event opportunity for our families. Please join us on Tuesdays throughout the month of January at Bellini's. Bellini's will donate 20% back to our school if you mention that you are with Sommer Elementary. This is good all day on Tuesday: lunch, dinner, dine-in and carryout! Check your guest receipt to make sure Sommer’s name is listed as an item on the receipt. This will ensure that the sale will be included in the “give back” calculation!
