Mark Your Calendars: The Summit Prep Packing and Moving Week is May 21-25, 2018
The countdown is on! On Friday we will have 180 days left until we're officially moved out of our current building (Chesterfield Village) and in our new building (Walnut Lawn). That's roughly six months!
As we look ahead, we'd like to share our packing/moving week dates with our community. We will be packing/moving smaller items the week of May 21-25. We'll be sending out more specific information and volunteer sign ups as we get closer to the end of the school year. But if you haven't made plans and would like to help out, we'd appreciate any assistance that week in the packing and moving process. We have hired a professional moving company to move the larger items, but they are not responsible for boxing up all our supplies.
Thank you all for your help! We're thankful you are part of our Summit Community!
