Shorecrest grounds sparkle after ESS clean-up


Dozens of student, parent, and community volunteers gathered on May 15 on Shorecrest High School grounds for the district-wide Embrace Shoreline Schools gardening and clean-up.

Previous work parties have focused on major clean-up of planting areas, pulling out the weeds and invasive species, adding soil amendments, planting native plants and covering the beds with bark and wood chips to discourage weeds.

The May event got down to the hands and knees details of weeds growing in the ornamental rocks and ground cover around trees.

Volunteers took time to pause for a photo op for photographer and Shorecrest parent Sarah Baldwin.

At the same time, volunteers weeded and cleaned up the school grounds at every school in the Shoreline School District.

Embrace Shoreline Schools is a consortium of volunteers from churches, schools, businesses, and the community.
