As Earth Week continues, a local school is celebrating its students? achievements in a big event last night ? thanks to Amy French for sharing the photo and report:
The Explorer West Middle School community congratulates the three groups of students chosen to represent Explorer West at Washington Foundation for the Environment?s ?3rd Annual Great Environmental Issues Slam? last night at The Flagship REI Store. The 6 students (across three teams) had 5 minutes to present their issues to a packed room of audience members who had the chance to vote at the end. The other contestants were all talented, adult speakers from a range of non-profits.
One of the student teams, presenting on ?Drastic Plastic,? won the slam and the opportunity to donate $1,000 to the charity of their choice that is working to deal with the issue of plastics in our world?s oceans. Explorer West students will be voting this week to decide which non-profit receives the donation from Washington Foundation for the Environment.
Featured in the top photos is the winning group with EWMS Head of School Evan Hundley and history teacher Tim Owens, who Amy says ?was the lead in getting the school involved in the slam.?
