🇺🇸Thank you to Vietnam veteran Charles "Chuc 🇺🇸Thank you to Vietnam veteran Charles "Chuck" Geilenfeld for his all-school presentation about his experience in the war in 1969-1971. Chuck survived a year in combat in Vietnam, and brought in food samples, his uniform, and his awards to share with students. Chuck did infantry training with the Army's 101st Airbourne Division known as the "Screaming Eagles." He spent most of his time setting up perimeters and guarding helicopter landing zones, making them a target for the enemy. 👏Summit thanks Chuck for sharing his experience with our students, and for his service to our country.

📖Summit's Literacy Coach Sue Menken, Head of Sc 📖Summit's Literacy Coach Sue Menken, Head of Schools/Principal April Bickford, and Fifth Grade Teacher Brendan O'Sullivan traveled to Dallas to attend the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) annual conference. "Spending time with other education professionals and researchers centered around the topic of dyslexia was an incredible experience," shares Brendan. "Seeing the impact others have created in the education field as dyslexics and for dyslexia reminded of what is achievable." "Our time there reinforced the importance of evidence-based approaches in literacy," says April. "As Professor Maryanne Wolf from UCLA noted, 'reading is not natural,' it requires creating new neural pathways through practice and patience. This is a vital reminder that reading proficiency takes time, and giving students space to take breaks and build skills gradually can make all the difference." The group also explored the role of assistive technology, such as the Dyslexie font, which has shown great promise in improving reading stamina for dyslexic learners. They are eager to implement these strategies and share their findings with students and staff to support every reader’s journey. Attending this conference was an inspiring opportunity to connect with educators and researchers focused on dyslexia. Seeing the impactful work done for dyslexic students and in the broader education field reminds educators of what’s possible and fuels their commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive learning environment at Summit Schools.
