MLSD’s The Summit gets new home
Joy McClendon stands in the office suite she uses to help students that participate in The Summit, a program offered by MLSD to help students with life challenges learn the skills they need to be successful. The small space wasn’t large enough for the anticipated growth of the program, with only 11 desks for 14 students, so the district has made arrangements for a new facility for the program.

This small office suite was the initial location for The Summit, which has grown from just a few to more than a dozen student participants. Growth prior to next school year is expected to have the program exceeding two dozen students, Moses Lake School District staff said.
The Summit participants were getting cramped in their prior location which only had 11 desks for 14 students. The new facility, located near the old location, will allow for growth of the program.
The Summit’s new location on East Hunter Place features about 4,000 square feet of learning space split about equally between The Summit and Open Doors programs, both operated by the Moses Lake School District.
The Summit offers area students an opportunity to learn life skills such as basic job skills, budgeting, shopping, cooking and cleaning. It also provides an opportunity to socialize with their peers.
