The city of Maple Valley, Tahoma School District and Friends of the Cedar River Watershed will co-host a community screening of the annually updated Watershed Report at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 13 at the Tahoma Middle School Auditorium.

Narrated entirely by local high school students, the Watershed Report is a series of short videos that track and update positive sustainability trends in the 13 school districts and 28 cities of the greater Cedar River/Lake Washington Watershed.

Tahoma students applied to be part of the Watershed Report Leadership Team which now includes 22 students from 10 different high schools representing seven school districts plus the private school network within the boundaries of the watershed.

Leadership students receive over 100 hours of training in public policy, project management and public speaking via “Watershed College” and innovative approach to 21st Century teaching and learning centered on inquiry, systems thinking and community problem solving.

Piloted in 2009, the Watershed Report is an innovative program from the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed, a non-profit that engages thousands of volunteers in habit restoration along the Cedar River.

The evening will also include opportunities to hear from both the school district and the city on positive advances in sustainability practices.

Tahoma Middle School is located at 24425 SE 216th Way Maple Valley.
