Do you know a high school student who might want to come to Summit?

Do you want a chance to win a prize worth $300?

Rainier and Tahoma still have a few openings left for next year in each grade level. We want to fill those spots with your friends, neighbors, and family members to create an even closer and stronger school community.

Linked are flyers for our summer open houses for Rainier and Tahoma (English, Spanish, Vietnamese). You can print them out or stop by the Tahoma office to pick up copies. Then give them out to people who might be interested in Summit. You can also send people to our website to apply: www.summitsanjose.org

• 1 entry for each student who comes to one of our open houses and mentions your name

• 2 entries for each student who turns in an application and puts your name down for how they heard about Summit

• 3 entries for each student who enrolls at Summit because of you 

12th grade parents - encourage your son or daughter to consider an internship for their 12th grade Expedition!

• Internships are one of Summit Schools' many unique programs that help prepare young people for success in the 21st century.
• An internship provides your student with an invaluable experience:  the chance to learn how to navigate the adult work world and to explore a possible career field. 
• Research has shown that students view their potential differently after an internship experience and feel much better prepared to make decisions about their future.

Linda Stevenin will be joining with Kathryn Hopkins this coming year to expand our current program and offer internships at both our Redwood City and San Jose schools.

Interested in learning more about this opportunity?  Have your student send an e-mail to Linda Stevenin, lstevenin@summitps.org by June 30, 2014.
