RECENTLY ACCOMPLISHED:

-          Relocation of the northeast corner fence; installation of new volleyball system.

-          Resealed playground asphalt; awaiting sunny weather to paint new play courts.

-          Developed Phase 1 construction plan and received approval from Seattle Public Schools.

-          Secured financial donations of $63,000 in total - $15,000 from Department of Neighborhoods, $25,000 from LSA and $23,000 from JSIS PTSA.

WHAT’S NEXT:

By July 1^st, we need $30,000 to purchase & install the new net climbing structure.

The Playground Project will then need $50,000 to complete Phase 1 (Phase 1 Drawings)

These additional funds will allow for:

-          Replacement of existing ramp near current play structure and built-in concrete benches

-          Bike Racks at a new west entrance

-          Picnic table areas around the existing and new climbing structures

-          ADA- and stroller-accessible pathway around entire play chip area

-          Landscaping and more

WHY WE NEED IT:

-          Our playground is already too small. The space can be better utilized to support our student body – which is increasing this fall!  

-          The net climbing structure offers diverse play opportunities and is designed to challenge students to develop upper body strength and coordination.

-          By completing these improvements during the summer, we can avoid safety concerns, additional construction costs or delays, and restricted access for students.  

Please note: The JSIS Playground Master Plan has evolved since this original version.  Certain elements on the drawing (as shown below) have been redesigned due to Seattle Public School District requirements.
