The Vashon Green School is a place-based multi-age learning community located on 7 acres of farm and woodlands, on Vashon’s Westside. We offer a hands-on, hearts-on embodied curriculum rooted in practices that promote social intelligence and connection to the natural world. Our curriculum seeks to provide children with tools and support for living a full, balanced and creative life by giving equal value to each of the four windows of knowing: feeling, imagining, sensing and thinking. Mentors honor each child’s unique gifts and learning styles, supported by our small mentor-student ratio. VGS children, mentors and families journey together to create a learning community rooted in compassion, connection and gratitude.

Litany of Salmon

Dana Schuerholz

Litany of Salmon began as an art and research project by artist Eileen Klatt about extinct salmon of the Columbia River Bssin. Through collaboration with the artist, Vashon Green School students created a theatre piece for Earth Day 2022 in which the extinct salmon were honored and given a voice. Through art we transform the world. The litany performed was also a call to action. If we do not care for our ecosystems, our homes, the salmon will not return. This is the story told for generations by the first peoples of the Pacific Northwest. This is your next illustration for your main lesson book. You can add people that weren’t there or that you can’t see well. Stay tuned for the story of Earth Day 2022.

Vashon Green School and NW Artists Against Extinction collaborated in Litany of Salmon for Earth Day 2022 on Vashon. Through art we inspire and move people to take action. Save our salmon! Restore the Snake River and breach the dams!
