Students from Delta and Summit Learning Center in Crestwood spend a day a week at Silver Stallion Ranch in Markham, where they work with horses, learn to use tools and gain self-esteem.
Not far from Interstates 294 and 57 in a rural part of Markham, Stanley and Betty Robinson operate the Silver Stallion Ranch with horse stables, a petting zoo and a reproduction of a stop on the Underground Railroad. It is here where students from the Delta and Summit Learning Center — the alternative high school for Community High School District 218 — attend class once a week.
Delta Summit senior Jessika West takes care of the horse Bam Bam while social worker Paris Hardamon observes during a recent outing to Silver Stallion Ranch in Markham. He wanted to teach students how to use a chain saw and operate a bobcat. Students at his ranch learn woodworking and how to build a crate and then brand it. While many students are used to a dense suburban environment, he wanted them to appreciate a rural lifestyle.
