🌟 Volunteer Appreciation Spotlight! 🌟

This November, we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who make our school district such a wonderful place to learn, work, and grow. Their generosity and dedication truly make a difference! 🧡🖤

Our first spotlight goes to Mr. Josh Miller! 🌿

Mr. Miller has been volunteering his time and talents around our district for years — since at least 2016! He spends countless hours trimming hedges, pruning trees and shrubs, and sharing his expert advice to help us keep our campuses looking their best.

We’re so grateful for Mr. Miller's continued commitment and care for our schools. Thank you, Mr. Miller, for helping our district shine — inside and out! 🌳✨

What a wonderful morning at Summerfield Schools!

We hosted our Fall Community Breakfast today, and it was such a great success! Our speakers shared valuable updates about what’s happening in and around our community, and it was inspiring to see so many people who make Petersburg and the surrounding area such an amazing place to live, work, and grow.

A huge thank-you to our outstanding student volunteers who helped make the morning run smoothly:

  • Elena Miller, Austin Taylor, Rylee Schiffler, and Claire Franzen – greeted our guests with warm smiles at the doors.

  • Jaeli Jones, Bethany Suydam, and Grace Raymond – managed check-in and name tags like pros.

  • Brea Olmstead, MaKenna Shipe, and Mia Samples – did an amazing job moderating the event!

Missed it? You can watch the full recorded breakfast here: https://youtube.com/live/eMvXBQIGGIA

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to make our community stronger every day!
