International Community School students formally buried a time capsule consisting of three chests full of items into a wall in their new school building on Sept. 25.

Items included a banner signed by all students at the school, typical clothing of our time, school assignments, a Twinkie and many more representative items contributed by students.

Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride contributed a letter to the time capsule. Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent, contributed a copy of the current strategic plan for the Lake Washington School District.

Everyone in attendance received a commemorative coin with the school’s name and address along with the date of Sept. 25. These coins are to be handed down to families so that the holder of the coin will attend the time capsule opening in 100 years.
