Details on what is needed:
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) has awarded Milwaukee College Prep (MCP) a grant to undergo a stormwater management project at its Lloyd Street Campus, located in the Lindsay Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee. With this MMSD-grant-funded project underway, MCP has the unique opportunity to develop in tandem a natural schoolyard at Lloyd Street School.
Led by Greenprint Partners—an award-winning planning, design, and engineering firm that delivers inspired green infrastructure in urban environments—this natural schoolyard will beautify the exterior of the Lloyd Street campus and expand the school’s learning areas to include safe and thoughtfully architected outdoor education spaces. Design plans include dedicated outdoor classroom spaces, a butterfly garden, landscaping throughout the property, and more.
The benefits of outdoor, natural schoolyards for our scholars include:
Working closely with MCP teachers and staff, Greenprint has designed a natural schoolyard and other sustainable landscaping features for MCP Lloyd Street School, which is detailed in this proposal; however, this project requires $83,000 in special project funding. MCP would be grateful to you for your consideration of a financial gift of any size to help bring the first phase of this project to life for our 500 scholars at Lloyd Street School.
