West Seattle schools: Arbor Heights gets a win at Safeco Field!

| Arbor Heights | West Seattle news | West Seattle schools

Arbor Heights Elementary put a team on the field at The Safe on Saturday, as part of the celebration for AH winning the first-ever Mariners-Nikon Earth Day Program. The school was recognized for its “green” initiatives, led by teacher Angie Nall (in the teal shirt), including composting and “upcycling” (as featured here previously). The moment in the spotlight before the Saturday night game – chronicled above – was part of the prize, as were new Nikon D3100 cameras. And even a pose with The Moose!

Thanks to everybody who sent tips about this, including the parent volunteer who provided the photo and video. (Got school news? Let us know so we can share it!)

David Wilkie is a great, great man and a great, great teacher. One of West Seattle’s, and Washington’s, finest Kindergarten teachers.

I am so glad to see Arbor Heights getting this very much deserved recognition!

AH has been “green” since before it was cool! From Earth Day celebrations, to compost bins, to recycling, to gardens, AH takes the lead for green elementary schools.

I gained an appreciation for composting via Ms. Long in the 2nd grade! When I got in trouble once, I staid in class during recess and turned the worm bin. (I actually liked it though. Shhh.)
