Summer of a Lifetime for the Class of 2019
ITW David Speer Academy's 2nd Annual Summer of a Lifetime is made possible through the incredibly generous support of Mrs. Barb Speer, Principal Mulder, Rosemary Matzl & ITW, and the families and supporters of our Rising Junior class. We also greatly appreciate Jill Kohlberg, Executive Director of Noble Network's Summer of a Lifetime Program, and the members of the Summer of a Lifetime Board, whose student-centered vision and financial support make this critical program a possibility on campuses throughout the Noble Network.
"It's the values you display in your life that will inspire others to follow." - David Speer
