GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL
Columbia Crest Academy
Monday, August 22, 2022
Welcome Back, Rainier Families!
It is with renewed energy that I look forward to the 2022-2023 school year. We are beginning the year in a normal fashion and it feels good. We have filled our teaching positions with people who are excited to be at Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy. We are hoping to hire one more teacher this month. If you have any contacts who may be interested in our secondary math position, please share this link. By the end of August we will be prepped and shiny and ready to open our doors to our wonderful, energetic students.
As school ended I planned a wonderful trip to the east coast to be with my sister and her family. Being an aunt is its own special role and I love it. I spent the last two weeks of July in Brandywine, Maryland. I enjoyed bonding with my nieces who are 3 and 1 (her new baby was born on August 6th). While there I was so impressed by how quickly my three year old niece was able to navigate my android phone (her parents have iPhones) and knew to push "Skip Ads" to get to her alphabet video on YouTube. Little ones have such powerful brains and it is so rewarding that we get to be part of their learning development. I also had to make another personal decision and that involves returning to being Allison Burslem. Please let your children know my new name.
Our theme for the year is, “Learning lights the way”. As in the past, we will create special activities around this mindset. Last year was tough. Even so, many good things happened. With being able to focus even more on learning and things that are good for kids, it will be an even better year.
Please get involved in PTO! We welcome this support group back and we look forward to offering other ways you can volunteer and be involved. More information will be coming out very soon with ways you can be involved this school year.
Follow Columbia Crest on Facebook and Instagram.Our Student Council also made an Instagram Account for our ASB Activities.
Enjoy the rest of the summer.
Respectfully,
Principal Burslem
