Summit School-Helping our Village

Donation protected
It takes a village…

We know the saying, we repeat the saying.  It takes a village to raise a child.  In the early hours of 4/5 our village was impacted by an act of theft and vandalism.  Summit School was broken into and criminals stole several pieces of technology, equipment and severely damaged rooms in the school.  Staff and leadership at Summit worked quickly with law enforcement to gather the necessary information but also worked tirelessly to ensure a safe environment was available to the children with only a two hour delay.  The staff worked immediately on improvements but unfortunately, there was a repeat break in on 4/13.  This is absolutely devastating to all involved:  families, workers, owners, and neighbors.

 Our village needs help…

 We are raising funds to get Summit School fixed with a security system that matches its needs.  This includes a system with alarms to trigger the authorities to catch the individuals harming our community.  Summit works tirelessly to have various fundraising efforts that improve the student’s experience and it’s unfortunate that they now have to put security measures into place when they should be worried about raising funds for other educational or recreational pieces.

Yes, this is a high goal but this up front investment will be with us for years to come, bring an end to the break ins, and allow us some peace of mind.

 Please consider a donation to help get a security system in place.  Our co-parents (as we like to call them) didn’t go into the careers they did because they want glory, fame, or to become incredibly wealthy.  They came to this profession because they love children and want to be on this journey with us.  Let’s keep them, our kiddos, and our beloved school safe.

Thank you for your donation.
