Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker proclaimed Oct. 17 Brentwood Elementary 
School Day in Raleigh. The mayor and city council honored Brentwood Elementary School for being presented Wake County's first "Watershed Stewardship School Award" during its Clean Water Celebration.
Wake Soil and Water Conservation District and the City of Raleigh Stormwater Management Division selected Brentwood for the steps the school has taken in learning about nearby Marsh Creek and leading community partners in projects to protect it. Tom LaCivita, the fifth-grade teacher heading up Brentwood's environmental efforts, was also named the county's first Watershed Stewardship Teacher of the Year.
Brentwood fourth-grader Erik Pinon and LaCivita represented the school at the council meeting. Pinon even got the chance to sit in Meeker's chair for a bit.
Read the proclamation.
