Climate Action Now

 

Highland Park’s 3rd Graders participated in a T-shirt design contest to raise awareness of global climate change called Climate Action Now. Although our students didn’t win the actual t-shirt contest, three of our students’ artwork will be featured in a calendar published by the city. All students were given an “energy saver” certificate, and the event was sponsored by the Mayor’s office, the Seattle Art Museum, Nordstrom’s and the Seattle School District. The contest was open to students citywide in grades K-12. Several Highland Park students and their families, along with Ms. Drake, our multi-arts teacher, were able to attend the celebration and award event at the sculpture garden pavilion of the Seattle Art Museum. They were greeted and honored  by Mayor Nickels. These are pictures of the event.
