Sims seeks nominations for Earth Heroes at School; Program will honor environmental stewards in schools and classrooms

King County Executive Ron Sims is asking King County residents to help identify those in our local schools who are doing exceptional work on behalf of the environment. They may be teachers, students, staff, specific programs or entire schools.

“King County has numerous shining examples of creative and effective Earth Heroes in our schools,” said Executive Sims. “These are the people and programs who are working to maintain the environmental legacy in our county and we would like to honor them.”

In its fourth year, King County Earth Heroes at School honorees are nominated by colleagues and classmates for their on-going commitment to preserving our natural environment through educational efforts. Past recipients have included outstanding teachers, students, staff, programs and schools.

Earth Heroes at School are the exceptional people and outstanding programs in our midst that work tirelessly to protect our land, air and water resources. They are true models of environmental stewardship demonstrating to others in schools, classrooms and throughout communities the kind of impact we can all make in preserving our natural environment.

Nomination forms are available for download below and on King County 's Earth Legacy Web site or by calling Linda Howard, at 206-296-4432. Nominations will be accepted until March 5, 2004. Award winners will be acknowledged at an Earth Heroes at School Award Ceremony in May 2004.

The Earth Heroes at School program is part of a countywide Earth Legacy Initiative, which consists of a number of programs that protect and enhance King County's environment.
