We need student voice and student storytellers now more than ever.
The Port Townsend School District Website for the 2022 Salish Coast Elementary Children’s Film Festival
This year the Library/STEM program at Salish Coast Elementary hosted the 2022 SC Children’s Film Festival! It was created by our K-5 citizen-scientists as a “Call to Action for the Future of the Salish Coast Ecosystem” and our students are excited to share their voices to tell their stories to ask our community: “What Will You Do to Help?”
