At a conference in Nov, I met someone from Waple Mill ES who is doing a lot of stuff, and I think that school is in Fairfax County. And MAEOE just revamped their website to include a lot of schoolyard greening stuff. Check out the DCSG website for info, too - http://www.dcschoolyardgreening.org. My contact info is there if you have any more questions.
