This week, Summit School kicks off the 2024-2025 school year's transition programs. Students will begin their off-campus experiences volunteering with their TACTICS groups or interning at their new work sites. Many thanks to our amazing community partners for making these opportunities possible! We're grateful to you all and can't wait for a great year ahead! John B.

Summit Early Learning Center was excited to receive a renewed grant from the Seigle Foundation in support of our speech and language programming. In the last school year, the preschoolers receiving speech and language support from Mrs. Bicbic and Mrs. Jackman saw a 15% decline in their concerns by May. The Seigle Foundation's gift also supported staff training and family education in language development. Thank you, Mark, Robin, and Karina for your partnership and belief in our students! We can't wait to share what the next year brings thanks to your generosity! Mark Seigle

Summit School’s high school students enjoyed a fun and meaningful experience this week when they visited John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and toured the Fisher Nuts store and plant. Jeffrey Sanfilippo, Kelly Day, and Maria Avina welcomed our students and hosted a presentation about JBSS before the tour. This summer marks the beginning of our 7th year partnering with JBSS. Each year, 2-3 Summit seniors have worked within the corporate office and the Fisher Nuts store, building important work skills, social skills, and self-confidence. Even during the COVID pandemic, the JBSS team found creative ways to continue supporting our students’ growth. We are all so grateful for the genuine and caring JBSS team members who have, and continue to, help us build confident and capable members of their communities. We thank you for believing in Summit School and can’t wait for what year 7 brings! John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. Kelly Day
