The Summit Preparatory School

Tomorrow is our annual Doughnuts with Grown-Ups! 🍩 ☕️

A supportive home environment is key to students' success both within and beyond the classroom. At this annual breakfast, we celebrate the parents, guardians, and other important grown-ups in our Summit students' lives with a fun community event in the Big Backyard. It's a pretty *sweet* way to start the day!

Reminder, Friday, September 25 is a Teacher Work Day and classes will not be held.

Enjoy the long weekend!
