The Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL) and the Association of Washington School Principals (51¸£ÀûÉç) will present 42 schools across the state with our Washington Schools on the Rise Award this fall. This is double of the submissions from the 2024 award year.

Dr. Selby was a legend whose influence on others across our state and country is truly unmeasurable. We remember her fondly at 51¸£ÀûÉç.

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!

The Association of Washington School Principals (51¸£ÀûÉç), alongside its student leadership division—the Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL)—has been nationally recognized by the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) for outstanding achievement in school communications.

Recognizing special days and awareness months is an opportunity to build community, highlight values, and celebrate the individuals and events that shape our school environments. These observances support a culture of belonging, appreciation, and learning. By honoring diverse contributions and causes, schools model empathy, curiosity, and respect—qualities that help shape students into thoughtful, engaged citizens.
