    AWSP 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!

Read Our Newsletters

We know not everyone is able to read each e-newsletter or email we send out. Bookends is one more way of keeping you in the loop "in case you missed it." We send it twice per year - once in the fall and once in the spring. (The newsletter "bookends" the year, so to speak!) Take it with you on a plane, to a game, to the beach, or anywhere else you might have a moment to check out what your professional association is doing to grow, support, and sustain school leaders in Washington state.
