A big shout out to the Community High School Foundation (CHSF)
We would like to thank Beth Fishback, Rick Herndon, and Connie Brown, our selfless leaders of the Community High School Foundation, for leading our annual campaign to raise $250,000!  With their leadership and focus on our students, CHSF has been able to raise upwards of $82,000 so far!  CHSF is well on their way towards meeting their $250,000 goal!  If you are interested in donating and supporting our wonderful students, please follow the link here: http://summitprep.net/donate/.  While we are not tax experts, in general, donate by December 31, 2013, for your donation to provide a 2013 tax benefit.

Thank you!  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
