Affirmation Winners!
 
Every month at Summerhouse, we use our Affirmation Wall to share encouragement, gratitude, and positivity with one another. Both employees and members write affirmations recognizing each other’s kindness, hard work, and the unique qualities that make our community special. This month, our staff winners are Mackenzie and Melissa, and our member winners are Paul and Halen. Congrats and thank you all for the positivity and support you bring to Summerhouse!

Thank you, Erika, for your hard work and passion—we’re lucky to have you on our team! 
Mission Accomplished!
 
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and sponsored this year’s "Beyond the Moon and the Stars" gala! Your generosity and support help us continue providing opportunities for adults with IDD to grow, thrive, and achieve their goals. Together, we’re reaching new heights—thank you for being part of our mission! 
Sailing Angels
 
Our members had an unforgettable time out on the water thanks to Sailing Angels! We’d also like to extend a big thank you to the West Gray Multiservice Center for inviting us to enjoy this special experience once again. Our members always look forward to these boating adventures, and this year was no exception!
A Spooktacular Evening!
 
Our members had an amazing time at this year’s Halloween party, filled with costumes, treats, and fun! A huge thank you to the wonderful parents who came together to organize this special event. Your creativity and dedication made this celebration unforgettable!
Texas APSE Conference

Our Employment team got the opportunity to attend a conference hosted by the National Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE)! It was a great opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals in the community, all sharing the common goal of ensuring opportunities for everyone with disabilities. This involved introducing innovative methods to assess and support clients at their current stage, enabling them to thrive in their workplace.

 
Client Success!
 

We are thrilled to announce that one of our dedicated clients has secured a position as a bus monitor with Fort Bend ISD Transportation! In this role, he helps ensure that bus riders receive the accommodations they need while getting on and off the bus, from assisting with buckling in to helping with assistive devices. We’re so proud of his hard work and this exciting step forward!

 
At Summerhouse, our mission is to provide adults with IDD a welcoming environment where they feel valued, respected, and empowered to make their own choices. With your support, we can continue offering community-based, individualized services that celebrate each member's unique talents and goals. Please consider donating to help us uplift our members and enrich the broader community.
