Rec Program childcare transitions from City of Bonney Lake to SBLSD for coordination, expansion
The long-standing partnership between the City of Bonney Lake and the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District has offered a Recreation Program with two major components – recreation and childcare. With the opportunity for SBLSD to expand the childcare portion, the organizations will divide oversight.
Starting with the 2023-24 school year, SBLSD will bring together a new and expanded before- and after-school program with Right at School. The City will continue to coordinate recreational activities through the Recreation Program.
The City and SBLSD believe this change will best serve residents with the recreational opportunities and quality childcare they’ve come to enjoy and rely on. We have communicated details directly with Recreation Program employees and current families in the Before- and After-School Activities Club.

Do you have experience with large capital program activities? Consider applying to be a volunteer member of the District’s new Capital Facility Advisory Committee (CFAC). The 30-member committee will represent a broad cross-section of community members and staff, who will work in an advisory capacity to the administration on issues such as capital planning, funding measures and boundary recommendations.
Meeting monthly from spring 2023 to June 2024, the committee’s goal is to make recommendations for a long-term capital facilities plan that includes funding measures. Activities include studying facility needs, reviewing data, and developing a plan designed to meet the needs of students over the next 10 years. The committee's work will culminate in a working list of future priorities and a recommendation to the school board for future funding.
Members interested in serving on the CFAC must be able to commit to evening, in-person participation once a month at the Central Office Administration Building. Apply electronically or by mail (1202 Wood Ave, Sumner, WA 98390) by Feb. 20.
