Building Connections: Maywood Hills Elementary Students Put Imprint on Project

By: Brian Aske, Education Market Director, FDBIA

This fall, second and third graders from Maywood Hills Elementary School in Bothell, Washington, reached out to our team with artwork and heartfelt thank you letters for the work crews are doing on campus.

The students’ letters include thoughtful questions to feed their natural curiosity about how things are built.

To show our appreciation and share in students’ enthusiasm, we incorporated the artwork into a custom fence panel on-site—a small but meaningful way for us to thank them and celebrate the improvements coming to Maywood Hills.

The progressive design-build project for the Northshore School District will introduce a new two-story addition with seven teaching spaces and a cafeteria. The project also includes a fully inclusive playground, a covered play structure, and an interior refresh integrating existing spaces with new ones.

In addition to Maywood Hills, Lewis is also completing campus improvements at Northshore’s nearby Kenmore Elementary School.
