The Blue Whale became the mascot of this elementary school in memory of a student who had recently died. The student had loved whales, and the school community felt moved to adopt the blue whale as its mascot. The school wanted children and parents to experience the sculpture by placing it next to the entrance to the playground and main parking lot.
