Education is the process of facilitating learning. Knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a group of people are transferred to other people, through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, or research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves in a process called autodidactic learning. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. School Time by Julian Burford Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

January 26, 2016 (Summit, NJ) – The Summit Principals’ Association, in conjunction with the Summit Educational Community, has launched the Illuminating HEARTS4HOPE Campaign. The initial campaign will benefit the Hassert Family. An active, involved and caring resident of Summit, Carol Hassert, the Summit High School principal’s secretary, is facing her second cancer diagnosis in two years. Her three children all attended the Summit Public Schools. Illuminating HEARTS4HOPE is a luminary campaign. Today through February 12, luminary kits will be sold via the attached order form, which must be returned to a Summit Public School main office by noon on Friday, February 12. Kits are sold on a first-come first-served basis and advance orders are suggested. Quantities are limited. Each kit includes 15 candles, luminary bags and assembly instructions, which can be picked up at Wilson Primary Center on February 10, 11, or 12 from 3:30pm until 8:00pm. The campaign will conclude with luminaries being lit, in front of participants’ homes, the evening of February 14, 2016. Those interested in this event, but living outside of Summit, are encouraged to participate as well by purchasing luminary kits and lighting them at dusk on February 14, spreading HOPE throughout the area.
