Catch up with Westwood Elementary Earth Heroes on KCTV This Week

The fifth grade Green Team was among several students, programs and groups honored by King County Executive Dow Constantine at a ceremony April 25; repeats of the program are set to air this week.

The fifth grade class at Westwood Elementary School was among two student groups and more than 20 different organizations or individuals within the King County education community to be honored at an event on April 25 as Earth Heroes.

According to King County:

Through the efforts of every fifth-grader at Westwood Elementary, the school increased its recycling rate from 43 to 54 percent and was recognized as a Level One King County Green School. They expanded their lunchroom recycling program to include collection of food scraps for composting, use durable lunch trays and utensils, and practice energy-saving behaviors.
