West Woodland Elementary is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this month and is looking for graduates and staff from the past century to help them celebrate.

The school is asking willing graduates and staff from its history to allow themselves to be interviewed by current West Woodland students for an anthology that will be published with a grant from the Seattle Eduction Foundation and the Foundation House at Northgate.

West Woodland Principal Marilyn Loveness said she hopes to have at least one graduate to represent every decade of the school's history.

Graduates and former staff will meet at the school at 8:45 a.m. on Jan. 26 for a tour. At 9:40 a.m., they will be sent to classrooms to be interviewed by current students.

Students will have prepared questions, but visitors are encouraged to bring their own stories, too.

Any interested graduates or staff who cannot attend Jan. 26 are still invited to contact the school for participation in the project.

West Woodland, located at 5601 Fourth Ave. N.W., also welcomes donations of pictures or other mementos for the project.

Attached to this article is a form for interested graduates and former staff to fill out and return to the school.
