Tilden is following the state-ordered emergency school closure order. We miss our students already, but teachers are working hard to ensure they can all continue learning (offline and online) during the closure.
And Jan, our wonderful Kindergarten aid, is one of the dedicated Tilden staff taking time during the state-ordered emergency school closure to clean and disinfect! ❤
Stay well, and keep your 👐 washed!

Tilden faculty and families, as well as other members of the West Seattle community, volunteer with Seattle Parks and Recreation to improve the grounds of Dakota Place Park.
Removing invasive plants and trash, pruning, and mulching, the group makes the park cleaner, healthier, and more inviting.
In March the Tilden community participated in our annual food drive to benefit the West Seattle Food Bank.
The first and fourth grade classes teamed up to help organize, collect, and deliver the food which was so generously donated by all the Tilden families.
The fifth grade class enjoyed sun and volunteering fun all day with Nature Consortium in the West Duwamish Greenbelt.
Full of enthusiasm and determined to make a difference, the kids removed invasive species, mulched, and planted, all while learning important lessons on what our environment needs to stay healthy. Way to go, 5s!
Wow, these students asked to clean up the neighborhood during recess—that’s dedication!
They chatted happily and shared that delightful feeling of doing the right thing as they removed trash from around the block.
Tilden students can volunteer to clean up the neighborhood for one recess each week. Thank you to our community service volunteers!
Seattle’s 5th Avenue Adventure Musical Theater performed at Tilden! While students experienced the wonder and joy of live musical theater, the performers brought to life books by authors and illustrators from the Pacific Northwest. On to the library!
Paul Schmid, portraying a member of Butler’s Rangers, treated the 4th grade students to a colonial loyalist’s perspective on the events surrounding the American Revolution. His enthusiastic audience learned there was more than one viewpoint about the cause of independence!
Learning is definitely cause for celebration, and the Tilden community did just that. Families enjoyed this annual event that recognizes students’ effort and achievement, beginning with time in the classrooms and halls to view students’ work, and ending with performances by each class.
With all the day-to-day hard work these kids do, it was good to pause and appreciate their effort.

Ask the Tilden third-graders, who became books, and shared what made them great in a parade throughout the school.
Interested Tilden students, staff, and faculty showed their Seahawks spirit while watching the team’s parade on television. Go, Hawks!
