FORKS — The University of Washington is preparing for celebrations in Neah Bay, Forks and La Push this week.

As part of the UW Pipeline Project’s Alternative Spring Break program, undergraduates are leading hundreds of K-12 students in literacy arts, and environmental and earth-space science education across the state, according to a press release.

The Neah Bay Family Celebration is set for Wednesday at Neah Bay Elementary School, 3560 Deer St. in Neah Bay. The time is to be determined.
