A little about ReLife - A Regional Center of Excellence
ReLife School is a program of Puget Sound Educational Service District designed to address the academic and behavioral needs of students (Grades 2 - 12) with significant social, emotional and behavioral disabilities. The program employs a strong focus on the individual academic growth of students. Through efforts to improve our students’ executive functioning, attention to detail and social interactions, we engage students in appropriate study skills and assignment/project completion, resulting in their movement toward increased successful classroom experiences. We seek to create a safe and structured environment for students to learn skills and strategies for coping with the stresses of daily life and to replace inappropriate behavior with socially adaptive behavior. We do this through a combination of in-class lessons, modeling and reinforcement, individual, group, and family therapy and through individualized interventions. Our goal is to transition each student from the program to the larger world, be it their neighborhood school, a job site, or post-secondary education, with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate that world successfully.

Hot off the press...the PCPC Little Free Library page on our website. Stop by and check it out.
The page lists all of the LFL that have been installed, recognition for our generous donors, and a section at the bottom that someone could fill out if they are interested in having one of our libraries in their community.
Thank you to all of our members, friends and family that have donated material, time, work, and books to this project.
Reminder - we are always collecting books at meetings to help keep the shelves of the libraries full.
If you or your business have something that you would like to share with the club, let us know and we can post it here. Send any announcements to passportrotary@gmail.com. If you have a photo to include, please send as a jpg.
