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!

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