Lincoln Avenue’s community and partners have developed a common vision for a redeveloped greener, healthier schoolyard. The school is actively fundraising to help transform their conceptual plan into reality through December 2023.

Lincoln Avenue Community School’s conceptual plan calls for removal of approximately 15,300 sq. ft. of asphalt and replacing it with new green space and mixed-use recreation and educational areas. The design includes three outdoor classrooms, bioswales, an underground cistern, mindfulness garden, and the addition of over 30 stormwater trees. The inclusion of a variety of native plantings allow for unique spaces on the schoolyard that can represent natural Wisconsin ecosystems, complete with student-created signage. The vision also includes a a porous, synthetic turf soccer field to further manage rainwater where it falls. The plan manages approximately 103,450 gallons of stormwater per rain event.

The Plan

Personal connections with the environment help students become aware of their surroundings and build knowledge of how their environment affects them for holistic problem-solving. I believe that environmental awareness and stewardship must be integrated within all content areas.
