The late principal of Washington Elementary School was remembered during a

dedication ceremony at the school in Junction City.

Lorraine Walked passed away unexpectedly in April.

In her memory the school dedicated a bench that will be placed next to the basketball court on the playground.  Current Washington Elementary School Principal Jennifer Black noted they will also be getting a tree. “Because we believe a tree is needed to shade some of our students.” A second bench will also be added at the site.

Walker had served as principal at the school since 1988.
