Fundraising Update: We've reached 44% participation and we are closer to our goal!
Thank you to everyone who have donated this week to help raise the final $20,000 for our fundraising campaign! We now have a participation rate of 44%! Ms. Ching's mentor group has already reached 100%, and Ms. Rice's group is right behind her with 2 more mentees to go! We hope to have an ice cream party for the entire school and reach our goal!
It'll Only Take 5 Minutes to Complete our Parent Survey!
Please take 5 minutes to respond to our parent survey here. We are aiming for 100% family participation because Your Voice Counts! All feedback is anonymous. We are asking for parent and student names to track participation so that we can follow up with families who have yet to participate. We want to reach all of our families. We are not linking parent or student names to the survey responses so please feel free to be honest and candid. If you would like, please come to the school between 5:30-6:30 p.m. on May 27 to complete the survey. We'll have computers and paper copies available.

Career Day
|
 Career Day - As our kids head to college and select a discipline, it is equally vital for them to hear what these disciplines can lead to. Summit Prep will be hosting a career day on Wednesday, May 28 (other campuses have their own days). This event is open to parents or to your extended network. We will set up professionals from similar fields in the same classroom to provide a rich discussion opportunity for the students. If you have contacts in the community who are good candidates to come and speak, please forward this email to them. The form below should be used to capture your intent on participating in the event. If you have questions, please contact Wren Maletsky at wmaletsky@summitprep.net.
A few goals for the day:
1. Students are inspired by your career and motivated to pursue it
2. Students learn about your career path and have a realistic understanding of what it means to succeed in your profession
3. Students interact with professionals that may provide internships or are willing to offer work life experiences to Summit students. We are actively seeking partners for our internship program!
Below is a sample of the questions we will ask you to share with our students:
1. What do you do?
2. How do people get into this field? Has it changed from when you started?
3. What does your day-to-day work look like?
4. What are some exciting things about your job? What challenges do you face?
5. What characteristics do people have that are successful in your career
