What's In A Place Name?
Have you ever thought about the who or what your school is named after? What about the street you live on? Your favorite park or library?
We’re asked students in Washington to take a look around their neighborhoods and identify a sign or label on a public place with a proper name as part of its title. We then challenged each student, or team of students, to find out more about where that name fits into Washington history and the values of the community.
