51¸£ÀûÉç is celebrating YOU this October for National Principals Month! We’ve partnered with Books Are Fun to bring an exciting surprise to 51¸£ÀûÉç members and their students. Books Are Fun is offering an opportunity that supports your students and comes with a meaningful reward for you. Books Are Fun is offering a $500 51¸£ÀûÉç professional learning scholarship to the first 50 51¸£ÀûÉç members/schools who partner with Books Are Fun to launch the Book Blast program at their school between now and December 10. This scholarship can be used toward any one 51¸£ÀûÉç conference, workshop, webinar, or series.

51¸£ÀûÉç has partnered with Books Are Fun to promote their Book Blast program, which is already making an impact in schools across Washington. Every student receives at least one brand-new, age-appropriate book. There’s no cost to your school—no invoices, no budget concerns. The Book Blast team handles 90% of the work, minimizing the lift for you and your staff. It brings families and communities together around a shared goal: literacy for all. To get started, schedule a quick Book Blast chat with the Books Are Fun team!

Hello, fellow school leaders. We recently wrapped up a great two-day meeting at the Crowne Plaza in SeaTac, WA, where the Elementary Grade-Level Leadership Committee came together for some meaningful discussions and shared experiences. What truly struck a chord with us was our conversation about hope. We discussed our roles in nurturing hope within our schools, and it was heartening to hear that for many of us, the support of this group had been instrumental in their journey as principals. It truly underscored the significance of our shared mission and the power of collective support.

Thanks to all of you who attended our Winter Forum. Over 150 of you joined some crucial conversations with your colleagues around the current legislative session, recess, attendance policies, supporting marginalized populations, high school graduation requirements, and other hot topics. Register now for our Spring Forum, coming up May 8, 2023.

Our Principals Month celebration continues with a special surprise: We’re offering a brand-new workshop on inclusion absolutely FREE to 51¸£ÀûÉç members. How to be 'ALL IN' as an Inclusive Leader is a 5-part series with international film-maker Dan Habib.
