✨ Spring For Excellence: A Huge Success—But We’re Not Done Yet! ✨
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers, sponsors, and partners who made Spring For Excellence such an amazing event! Your support has already made a tremendous impact on Summit schools.
But we’re not stopping here. SEF’s Spring Grant Cycle is our biggest yet, and educator needs continue to grow as budgets tighten. From updated libraries and cutting-edge technology to collaborative learning spaces and the new STEAM lab, our students deserve every opportunity to excel.
While Spring For Excellence helped us get closer to our goal, we need additional support to fund all the impactful grants submitted.
Let’s keep the momentum going and give Summit students the resources they need to thrive! Every dollar makes a difference.
❤️ Donate today and help us give Summit schools the edge our kids deserve!
Thank you!

Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade students who recently competed in the Science Olympiad tournament! In the regional tournament at Union County College, we ranked 2nd place in the overall competition out of 15 schools. Out of the events, we ranked within the top 6 in 10 out of the 12 events! Our team will be attending the State Tournament at Middlesex County College on March 11! This trip was made possible thanks to the generosity of the Summit Educational Foundation ✨

Excitement is in the air at Wilson Primary Center! Thanks to the SEF Wonder of Reading grant, our kindergarten classrooms have been transformed with a brand-new bookshelf, headphones, and an inspiring collection of Wonder Books from Playaway. Our class was bursting with excitement as these resources arrived—they couldn’t wait to dive in, listen, and read along!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible. Your support fuels our students’ passion for learning.

🚀 Bringing Coding to Life at LCJSMS! 🚀
Thanks to SEF’s grant, 7th graders in Ms. Mitterko’s Robotics and Coding Class are using iRobot Root Coding Robots to learn real-world programming, problem-solving, and engineering concepts. This hands-on class is a fun change from the usual reading and writing, letting students experiment, create, and see their code in action!
📢 Student Spotlight:”At first, I thought coding was just typing lines of text, but using the Root robot showed me how my code can make something move and react in real life. It made learning feel more like a game, and now I actually want to explore coding more!” – Amelia Tulloch, 7th Grade

📜✨ Bringing History to Life in Ms. Polles’ Class! ✨📜
Thanks to a generous Summit Educational Foundation (SEF) grant, Ms. Polles’ class at LCJSMS recently experienced an incredible Museum of Early Trades and Crafts presentation! 🏛️🔍
During the session, an educator introduced the different roles civilians played during the American Revolution—Loyalists, Patriots, farmers, tradespeople, and tavern keepers. Students even got to handle real artifacts from the time period! 🏺🖋️
Then, they took a step back in time—practicing writing with a quill pen and ink just like in the 1700s and crafting journal entries from the perspective of Revolutionary civilians. 🇺🇸✍️
📸 Swipe to see some highlights from this hands-on learning experience!
💡 Programs like these are made possible by SEF and supporters like you! Help us continue to fund engaging opportunities for our students by joining us at the Spring for Excellence Gala on March 8th! 🎟️✨ Get your tickets now—link in bio!
