Rawson Saunders Annual Report 2021-2022

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Friends of Rawson Saunders,

I am very proud to share with you the 2021-22 Annual Report. This year was a wonderful year for rebuilding connections with our community and planning for our future. We were overjoyed to return to an in-person Gala event this spring and to host many other inperson events throughout the school year.

Our community also showed their unwavering support this year through 100% participation in our Rawson Saunders Annual Fund. We are able to see the direct impact of this support through campus improvements like a new awning, new classroom furniture, new flooring, and more.

Our annual report is evidence that we are all taking steps forward every day towards our goal of rewriting the future of dyslexia education. Thank you to our community for continually going above and beyond for the benefit of our children.

With deepest gratitude,

Laura Steinbach, M.S.Ed. Head of School
