Low Tide, Big Discoveries for First Graders at Alki Beach

The 1st graders at Sunset recently had an exciting opportunity to visit Constellation Park at Alki Beach during the lowest tide of the year for a hands-on tidepooling adventure. Students explored the shoreline and discovered a variety of marine life, including sea stars, crabs, anemones, and other fascinating sea creatures. The trip provided a memorable outdoor learning experience and helped students deepen their understanding of marine ecosystems and the natural world around them.

Meet Principal Kathy Keegan

Hello, Sockeye families! I look forward to meeting all of you! Being a principal is awesome because it gives me the chance to build strong relationships with staff, students and families, which helps set up a foundation for academic success. A few fun things about me: I love historical fiction, such as the “Little House on the Prairie” series, which hooked me as a reader in third grade. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be pizza. I grew up in Colorado and was the only girl in a family with five brothers.
