This year's International Dyslexia Association (IDA) conference took place in Dallas, TX, where Lisa Buschek, Director of Triad, had the pleasure of catching up with one of our own, Hunter Peterson, Class of 1987. Hunter, now a board member of the Dallas IDA branch, shared some of his favorite memories from his time at Summit. Diagnosed with dyslexia after Kindergarten, Hunter was part of the Explorer program, which addressed reading and writing challenges. He valued the strong sense of community at Summit and always felt known, supported, and respected, and built close relationships with both teachers and staff. Now as a successful entrepreneur and a managing partner at the equity investment firm Skylark, Hunter's journey is a testament to the impact of perseverance, community support, and education. #IDAConference #DyslexiaAwareness #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth #OrtonGillingham Hunter Peterson Lisa Buschek International Dyslexia Association The International Dyslexia Association - Dallas Branch

Our 7th grade Digital Arts students are diving into the world of music production with Ableton, a professional audio production software. They’re learning to produce and arrange their own music while exploring song forms like chorus, verse, bridge, and more. Students learn specific rhythm patterns, melodies, chord structures, and progressions using MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) instruments. With a mix of minor and major scales, students are crafting complex melodies, creating chords, and composing original tracks. They're even learning basic audio engineering techniques and live looping for performances. It’s amazing to see their creativity come to life as they launch their own original compositions!
