During a special two-day Earth Day event, The Island School students celebrated the importance of protecting the environment. On April 21, students added native plants to the grounds at the school, including Nootka Rose, American Cranberry, Maidenhair ferns and more. On Earth Day, students came together for an outdoor buffet created from mostly locally sourced produce. Students used recyclable plates and utensils to further reduce waste. The Review stopped by to ask kids about Earth Day. Here’s what they had to say:

Bainbridge Island Review
Bainbridge teachers are talking about walking off the job. The teachers’ union will take a vote April 27 to decide if island educators will participate in a statewide oneday strike sometime next week. If the union approves the walkout, classes will be canceled Thursday, April 30. Officials said the strike is still tentative. “I have no authority yet to call a strike yet until a vote is taken,” said David Layton, a language arts/American studies teacher at Bainbridge High and the president of the Bainbridge Island Education Association. The association is the union that represents teachers in the Bainbridge school district. The statewide walkout will last just one day as a protest to the Legislature’s inadequate funding of public schools. TURN TO WALKOUT | A11

A Bainbridge woman died in a devastating early morning house fire Saturday on Monte Vista Drive that authorities later said started accidentally in a pantry in the single-family home. Anne A. Schlee, 83, died of “asphyxia due to inhalation of toxic combustible materials as a result of the house fire,” the Kitsap County Coroner’s Office released Tuesday. The house fire in the 6500 block of Monte Vista Drive was reported by a neighbor just before 1 a.m. Saturday. Firefighters found a two-story, single-family home nearly fully engulfed in flames when they arrived. The two residents — Anne and Sandy Schlee — were asleep at the time of the fire, which was
