Dunalp Students Attend Make a Difference Summit

A few of our SCORES students from Dunlap Elementary will be attending the Make a Difference Summit at the KCTS Seattle Center Studio. The students will be giving a 10 minute presentation about their community service projects that they completed during the SCORES season.

The Dunlap boys held a recyclable electronics drive in their school. They collected all kinds of electronics ranging from cell phones to VHS players to other electronics item people may normally just throw away. After they collected all the items they dropped them off at 3R Technology in Seattle. From the 3R Technology they will be headed to the KCTS Seattle Center Studio to give their presentation.

Below is a video of the SCORES students answering questions from fellow community volunteers about their project.

The event is being hosted by IslandWood, an outdoor learning center on Bainbridge Island.
