A memorial for Ken Larsen, a former fifth-grade teacher at Chautauqua Elementary School, will meet on Saturday at the school gardens.

The memorial, slated to run from 2 to 4 p.m., will include a potluck and a musical celebration in his honor. All people who would like to play are encouraged to bring an instrument, said Erik Larsen, Ken’s son.

A scholarship fund has been set up in Ken’s honor. Memorial donations may be made to Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation at P.O. Box 1413, Vashon, WA 98070 or online at vashonscholarshipfoundation.org.

Ken Larsen was a popular teacher at the school and served there from when he was hired in 1988 to his retirement last year, according to Donna Donnelly, assistant to the superintendent.

He died June 7 following complications from a surgery. For more information about Larsen and the memorial, see the Facebook page, Ken Larsen-Memories.
