Laurelhurst School Playground Renovation Project

Our school needs a new playground and our families and community are pulling together to make it happen.

Find project updates and check out the plans for the new playground at www.seattleschools.org/schools/laurelhurst/playground.

We reached our fundraising goal but your support is still appreciated as there's still much to do. Remember, you can still get a Legacy Brick:

Legacy Brick Walkway
What will your Laurelhurst Legacy Brick say? The new south playground will include a new brick walkway as part of a more welcoming entrance to the school off of 47th Ave. NE. Don't miss the chance to buy a Laurelhurst Legacy Brick and have your family name, your child's name, a favorite saying, your company name, etc. permanently engraved on the grounds of the new Laurelhurst School Community Playground. Details of the Legacy Brick Sale including pricing for the bricks will be available soon.

Here are some of the events that have helped us meet our goal.
Thank you for your support of all of our fundraisers.

Some of the Fundraising Events

Golf for the Playground
A golf tournament at Sand Point golf course was a success thanks to  tournament sponsorships and support from community businesses and service providers who gave generously.

Garden Tour & Spring Gift Boutique
Garden Tour was wonderful! - Ask anyone who went on the Garden Tour or volunteered and they'll tell you that it was wonderful! Beautiful weather and beautiful spring gardens added up to a successful playground fundraiser. Tour tickets along with the Gift Boutique proceeds, and no expenses incurred, the event raised $3100! Thanks to all who helped make this a fun fundraiser. We are already talking about "next time" and "next year"!

Pancake Breakfast & Family Fun Walk
Thanks! - We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in and supported the Pancake Breakfast and Family Fun Walk! Over 600 people joined us to eat yummy Great Harvest Bread Company pancakes, drink delicious Starbucks coffee, cheer with Captain Husky, admire the talents of our amazing Unicycle Performance Team and/or walk the one-mile neighborhood route.

We are so impressed and proud of our school and local community for the incredible teamwork and collaboration demonstrated in this activity. Amazingly even the weather cooperated. There were so many people volunteering to help in some way - there are too many to name! We appreciate everyone's contribution! We succeeded in raising money AND community awareness for the Laurelhurst School Community Playground  Renovation Project. We can be extremely proud of efforts and teamwork; we're closer to our goal of a new school community playground for kids and families to enjoy!
