🚀 Blast Off 🚀

Our kids used to only have to compete with students from the neighborhood, but in a global economy, they're competing for opportunities with students from around the world.

It is imperative that Washington students have access to a wide range of educational opportunities:

• Affordable preschool and pre-kindergarten programs
• Middle school life skills training
• STEAM-based apprenticeships in high school *Keeping student loan interest rates affordable and protecting college students from aggressive and harmful lender tactics
• Auxiliary programs that allow us to best meet the unique needs of each of our students

This month I was invited to read and even get a little silly with Sno Isle Libraries at the Marysville and Everett Public Libraries! This is our Blast Off stretch between books:

It's been a joy and a privilege to read with these kids this summer. As our communities head back to school, the Larsen team wishes you and yours a fun and fulfilling school year.
