Summersville School District #79
A Journey in Learning
Community Members Welcome!
 Jill
Crosby, Superintendent of Summersville Grade School District
#79 has developed highly visible programs that involve working
with the community to support efforts
in student learning and in teaching.
Community Involvement Activities
Summersville School is highly involved with the Jefferson
County Chamber of Commerce. One partnership activity is "Trade
Talk". The "Trade Talk" books list speakers
in the community who share career options with students. Members
of the Chamber also provide judges and contribute toward savings
bonds for students in support of the annual Science Fair.
Jill Crosby also serves as president of the Mt. Vernon Rotary
Club. Through this relationship, the Rotary members work with
Summersville school to support fund raisers, save UPC labels,
and attend school events.
Community Members Are Welcome!
Summersville School welcomes community members. Area residents
often eat lunch with students and use the school gym for their
morning exercise. The school wants to be a resource to the
community and is used for many community activities such as
the Community Crime Watch, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H, city
meetings, and use of the gym for public servant basketball
leagues.
The school encourages the community to volunteer with coaching
students in various learning areas along with mentoring, supervising
recess and lunch, and monitoring students coming to and going
home from school.
High Scores!
Community involvement does make a difference. Summersville'
students achieve high scores on the ISAT due to parent,teacher
and community involvement and by following curriculum guides
which incorporate the Illinois Learning Standards.
