March ’21 SUMMIT Summary

We are feeling SPRING in the air! Are you? It’s nice to be able to spend more time outdoors and the children are loving it too! Not only are the kiddos having tons of fun, there are all kinds of benefits for children when they play outside!

With the warmer weather, we will be able to resume our home visits with families and meet outdoors too! Although, our Home Visitors have still been meeting with families virtually, it will be nice to be together in person again!

Be on the lookout for your Summer Camp Registration Packets soon! (For information about the SUMMIT Summer Camp, contact us at ENROLLMENT@SUMMITEL.ORG.)

We are in the middle of National Reading Month and there are a lot of activities going on in our programs to celebrate the importance of reading!
