The East Lake Washington District of Garden Clubs has awarded Give Kids a Hand grants to two schools in the Bellevue School District.

The goal of the grants program is to support classroom activities in gardening, horticulture, landscaping, or the environment. Funds may be used for plants, supplies, equipment, or enrichment opportunities.

The schools awarded grants in Bellevue are Spiritridge Elementary and Sherwood Forest Elementary.

The program is mainly funded by a silent auction and social that will be held this year on October 11 at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Bellevue. The public is invited.
