Checking back on the West Seattle Elementary volunteers

Following up on this morning’s dignitary-laden kickoff event (WSB coverage with video clips here) on the King Day volunteer work at West Seattle Elementary: Before the scheduled wrap-up a short time ago, we dropped by again and found the work in full swing:

This was such a great event, thank you for the coverage! Anyone looking to volunteer with a credible organization that runs its program well should check out City Year.
