June 2023 Newsletter
Dear Rainiers,
We are swinging into summer vacation! Now that June has arrived the countdown to the last day of school is in full swing. This school year has been rewarding as traditional celebrations and traditions returned. Diving deeper into learning foundational skills took priority. While we will still see the impact of the pandemic for years to come, you can make a difference with your own child(ren) this summer by keeping them engaged in reading and learning all summer long.
We recently had a librarian from the Pierce County Library meet with every class to read a story and teach them how to join the program. Please visit this link to learn more about the Summer Reading Program. When your child brings home thier final report card on the last day of school, be sure to check out the summer work activities sent home as well.
June is packed full with numerous events and activities that we are all excited about. The events are featured in this newsletter and we hope to see you at one or all of them.
Wishing you a rejuvenating, sunny and family filled summer.
Kind Regards,
Principal Burslem
