Students, Staff Celebrate Service Day

Thursday, May 1, 2014

More than 50 students and staff volunteered for the School's Service Day on April 12 at three different sites across the Seattle area.

At West Seattle's Lincoln Park, volunteers worked with EarthCorps to make the forests and shoreline healthy by removing invasive plants and replacing them with native ones. At Food Lifeline in Shoreline, they repacked 6,450 pounds of grocery store salvage food products that provided 5,375 meals to Western Washington families.

And at UW Farm, they weeded, composted, and demolished old planting beds to make way for a greenhouse. They also harvested carrots, turnips, kale and other healthy things.
