Wedgwood Elementary boasts some of the most amazing gardens to be found at any of Seattle’s schools. Not only do they make the grounds more attractive, they serve as “outdoor classrooms” and provide opportunities for community service. We donated over 60 pounds of produce to local food banks during 2010.

In 2010, Wedgwood was granted $17,000 from the Small and Simple Projects Fund managed by Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods.

Title: Wedgwood Elementary Playground Improvement Project
Organization: Wedgwood Playground Improvement Project Committee

Description: With funding, we will be able to execute our plan to improve Wedgwood Elementary’s outdoor area by creating more green space and educational opportunities with a rain garden and raised gardening beds, and by adding new play structures to the outdated playground.

Amount Gathered: $109,160.00
