Happy May
Dear Columbia Crest Rainier Families,
May is here! We are on the home stretch and what a year it has been. We have been challenged in ways we never dreamed possible. The best way to deal with the struggle is to continue to be optimistic. That being said, I want to share with you some of the things that typically happen in May that prepare us for the next school year.
First of all let us focus on the Associated Student Body, our kids. We are planning for elections of our Student Council. These elections give students the opportunity to be leaders and to plan activities that make our school a great place to be. Current 5th, 6th and 7th graders will be involved.
Secondly we look forward to students being back in the normal learning mode from the beginning of school. To prepare for that we will hold our annual copy paper drive. Students who donate will be entered into drawings and the class that brings the most will be rewarded. We have collected prizes we think the kids will like.
And Thirdly, our 8th graders will be in contact with the high school as they get ready to transition to their status of being Eatonville Cruisers. The high school guidance counselor will be on campus this month to discuss high school schedules for fall 2021 with our 8th grade students.
In a quote from John Cena’s new book Be a Work in Progress,
Reflect on what has been, look forward
To what can be, live in each moment and
Use what you’ve learned right now to
Get you where you want to go.
Gratefully,
Allison Shew
