Bill Cook, Bob, and Jackie Pattie visited the Lake Wilderness Elementary School in Maple Valley on June 4, 2013. The presentation was to two classes of second grades on the basis geology of the state of Washington, about 65 students. They asked many question about geology and about rocks in general during the question and answer part of the presentation.

The following pictures are of this year’s trip to this Elementary School.
