Lynn Kohlwes, a PE teacher at Juanita Elementary, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Mariner’s Game on Oct. 2. Kohlwes was selected because she has helped to organize an annual school night at the Mariner’s game for about 11 years.

She started doing these events as a PTSA mom at Rose Hill Elementary, then as a staff member at Juanita Elementary.

In May, Kohlwes sold 600 tickets to a game. For the game, 169 students, staff and parents were in attendance. This event serves as a fundraiser for Juanita Elementary. This year, they raised $688 for the fifth grade students’ Outdoor Education program.
