Dear Belfair Elementary and Sand Hill Elementary Community,
It is with mixed emotions that I share the news of Principal Jason Swaser's resignation. After serving our students with dedication and passion, Principal Swaser has decided to step down and has made a career change in a neighboring district.
During his tenure, Principal Swaser made significant contributions to our North Mason school community, fostering a positive learning environment and supporting both students and staff. We appreciate his hard work and commitment.
Effective today, we will begin the search for an outstanding replacement. We will keep you informed throughout this transition process.
The district is considering all possibilities to find a principal who can effectively support the needs of Belfair Elementary School, its students, and staff. By exploring both internal and external candidates, we can ensure a thorough search process.
Please join me in thanking Principal Swaser for his service and wishing him well in his future endeavors.
Further, Assistant Principal Christine Mart has accepted an administrative position in a neighboring district. The search for her replacement is currently in process. We also thank her for her positive contributions at Belfair Elementary and wish her well.
Sincerely,
Dana Rosenbach, Superintendent

📚 Celebrating the Love of Reading at Belfair Elementary 📚
Walking into the gym at Belfair Elementary, the Mallet Masters set a festive tone for the wrap-up of Reading Olympics. Teacher after teacher introduced their classes, announced the total minutes read (one class was over 28,000 minutes!) and the number of books completed. Principal Collins presented students with their participant ribbons and medals, then together with Assistant Principal Mart, proudly posed on the podium with the teacher and their students. Parents and families were also present to celebrate, their faces beaming with the same pride on the faces of the administration and staff, weaving the event together and underscoring what Principal Collins said a number of times during the assembly (and what her shirt happened to say), "At Belfair Elementary, we are family."
After every student was recognized, it was time for the finale. All of the students' names were put into a bucket for a chance to win a brand new bike (2 from each group, K-2 and 3-5) courtesy of the Members of the Free Masons of Hood Canal Lodge #288. Principal Collins thanked the Free Masons for their continual support over the years, the crowd and students joining in with silent, rapid hand waving to show their thanks.
When it was time to leave, many students missed their cue and needed a nudge from their teacher or classmate because they were so busy inspecting their ribbons and medals. It was evident from the careful way they held their prize that it was a well earned accomplishment. And, whether they read 250 minutes, or 2,500, every student's achievement was recognized, their contribution appreciated and, by the smiles on all of their faces, they left knowing they belonged. ❤️That's a family.❤️
