John Stanford International School 

Playground Master Plan 

Meeting & Workshop

Saturday, June 7, 2008 – 8AM to 12PM

Please join us in a public meeting and workshop to share your thoughts, concerns, hopes and desires for the John Stanford international School (JSIS) playground and landscape.  This workshop provides a unique opportunity for Wallingford and University District community members, JSIS parents, and teachers and staff to share their ideas with the landscape architects and steering committee members.  We will discuss what you like about the school site and playground and what you think can be improved upon.  We will brainstorm about what the most appropriate elements and activities are for inclusion in the master plan.  You will also have a chance to participate in a hands-on design exercise and contribute to the conceptual design process.  All are invited and no experience or expertise in design is required or necessary.

Where:  John Stanford International School cafeteria (enter from the south playground)

When:  Saturday, June 7th, 8am -12pm 

Who: Everyone interested in school yards, open space and children’s play facilities

Child care will not be available and the content of this session is geared for adults.  Substantial snacks/breakfast foods and beverages will be provided.

There will be additional outreach sessions for students and an electronic survey will be available after the workshop for children, parents and community members who cannot attend this session.  We encourage you to bring ideas your children might have to this meeting.

Please RSVP to Kim Lokan at kimlokan@gmail.com  by Thursday June 5th.

This project is a partnership with Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Seattle School District
