WORKING WITH RAINIER SCHOLARS INSPIRES!

Working with the fifth grade cohort of Rainier Scholars was a fantastic experience. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more about what testing strategies could help, their willingness to spend a Saturday inside, and their smiles filled my heart with renewed vigor about what it means to be an educator. Rainier Scholars is a scholar-centered program that focuses on student success. The program offers a comprehensive 12-year curriculum that combines academic enrichment, mental health support, college counseling, and leadership and career development. I am grateful to partner with organizations like Rainier Scholars that are committed to providing transformative educational opportunities to hard-working, low-income students of color.
